888-294-6804 / 8882946804

I'm having the same problem. There are 44 charges on my checking account from Verizon, all in one day! I don't have, nor have I ever had, Verizon services. And I've never put minutes on anyone's card, ever. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!!!

I live in Texas and they just spent 650 dollars on my account. This is CRAZY! I see posts on here from years ago......why do this many people have to become victims before something can be done. Are the crooks are smarter than the FBI? As of now.....I guess so...and my card was never stolen. They must have gotten the card number somehow.

I had my back pack lifted with my wallet containing my credit card and debit card inside. It took less than an hour for the thief to make $700 in charges to the accounts. This is the number they used to prepay a verizon phone.

I do not have verizon and I was just taken for almost 1100.00 from someone using the # 888-294-6804 .VZWRLSS prepaid out of CA, and I am in Houston, TX These funds were taken directly from my account and I too am obtaining a lawyer and filing a police report with both the FBI and my local police dept. I find it absurd that banking institutions these days even allow such charges to go through, obviously knowing that fraud is being committed. If anyone else has had this happen to them pls let us know so we can all come together and stop this from happening to anyone else.

Money has been debited from my account by means of frad. and I want my 150.00 put back in my account before I have charges filedMy cell # is 478-697-3349. fast response is expected.

I never received any phone call, but I just noticed a fraudulent charge on my credit card today with VZWRLSS as the description. I do have Verizon Wireless as my cell phone carrier and am a faithful customer for many years, but never charged anything to them during this time period so naturally I was very confused. At first I thought it was an ex-girlfriend or someone stole my credit card number, but then I found this website.I spoke with Verizon Wireless and my credit card company and they are currently investigating this, but they both thought these charges were very strange. Even stranger, neither Verizon or my credit card company could give me any details about these charges. I did some research, and I can say with the utmost confidence that this is a scam and has absolutely nothing to do with Verizon Wireless. Somehow I didn't notice it on my last billing statement, but on May 24 I was charged $301.00 to "VZWRLSS-IVR VN" from Folsom, CA. Today I got a new billing statement and on June 26 I was charged $256.00 to "VZWRLSS*WALCCRVN".Even though my credit card company and Verizon are investigating this, I'm being issued a new credit card with a new number, and those charges are going to be refunded, I still didn't have peace of mind since I wanted to know who did this and how it happened. I looked through some old credit card statements because I know I had used my card for Verizon purchases before and that was when I found further evidence this is a scam. Verizon Wireless uses the abbreviation "VERIZON WRLS" on billing statements, not "VZWRLSS". If you don't believe me, type "VZWRLSS" into a search engine.. All you will find are websites like this with complaints of fraudulent charges. If that abbreviation were in fact Verizon, their official website would be at the top of the search engine's results. This would simply be an example of cyber crime or some type of fraud/scam to steal people's money. Judging by all of the documentation on this website and elsewhere, I would say it is a widespread scam by professionals who steal credit card numbers and make charges to a fake company. It's sad, but do some research and you will see this is not uncommon. Scammers make fake companies and websites named something extremely close to a real company and make off with tons of money in the process. Just look at it this way.. How many of us on here saw "VZWRLSS" on our billing statements and immediately assumed it was Verizon Wireless? It's genius, really; evil genius.I feel sorry that Verizon Wireless is getting their great name slandered by criminals who made a scam with a purposely similar abbreviation. I really hope that the word of this gets out so everyone is aware of it, including the credit card companies and Verizon. It seems as if customer service doesn't know anything about this, only their security/fraud departments. I would recommend that anyone who has these fraudulent charges on their billing statements to dispute them so you can be refunded or credited immediately. And also make sure to let them know that this is a widespread scam so their security departments can keep a look out for this to prevent this happening to anyone in the future. Good luck to everyone in getting this resolved!

On 6/16/2010 I had an unauthorized charge of $21.20 from this # 888-294-6804 - called it and it's Verizon Wireless. I don't have a Verizon cell phone or Verizon anything. It was charged to my Bank of America Debit card. I have since cancelled my card and closed my BofA account. Unbelievable that this has been going on this long and neither Verizon nor BofA will put in security measures.

On 11 Aug 2010 I see a charge of $213.98, description VZWRLSS ETM. Immediately I think it is Verizon Wireless. I have AT&T, after reading some comments I am starting to believe it is a fake company. I called my credit card and they cancelled my card. I really hope they can catch those criminals. They will give me a credit but it still bothers me that they used my name to buy fraudulent charges.

I am currently working with my credit card company Credit Fraud department. I been charged 5 times for total of $350. On went on 3-way with Verizon and my credit card company to try solve the issue and all the representative know it is from the pre-paid service. I never got a call but I did use my credit card in December online. So it has to be inside job. A block was put on my credit card and I cut my card. By looking at this site and other sites that reported this problem, it has been going on for years and it seems nothing has been done about it. Probably the best thing is to cancel all 3 of my service lines with Verizon Wireless. If we all do that, they will eventually go out of business. I should have stayed with AT&T and kept over 3000 roll-over minutes since I started with a good plan with Cingular (prior to AT&T take-over).

I have an unauthorized charge also with VZWRLSS*PREPAID OT (not ECARS). Has anyone else seen this "PREPAID" version? Also, ironically this unauthorized charge happened within 48 hours of using this debit card at an ATM. I wonder if somehow somebody has figured out a way to "capture" the card number and PIN of these debit cards (Mine is WALMART MONEYCARD) thru the ATM? Has anyone else had problem with this on a WALMART MONEYCARD?
