Claiming to reduce credit card APR. I chose to speak to a "customer rep" to have my number removed (I have received this call numerous times) and the gentleman that answered hung up on me immediately after I informed him to remove my number.

Called today, no message

Same here, calls and then doesn't leave a message. This has been going on all week with 2 today. If I'm free next time, I'll pick up and see if it's a scammer.

called today at 4:08pm CST. Call was not answered as there are too many strange calls these days. This may be a "spoofed" call - a call made from another phone that identifies itself with the above Verizon number. If this is true, Verizon cannot do anything about it. One of our politicians (midwest), had a service that would call "from" a number identified as originating in Canada, and if answered, the politicians phone call would come thru shortly after hanging up on the Canada call (which no one would respond when answered). After it happened a few times, it became clear who was triggering the Canada call. Fortunately, that politician is not doing that anymore.

very mean and abusive

this is an unsolisited text message
