Don’t get fooled into submitting account info at such phishing links. The scammer will steal the login credentials and subscribe victims to unwanted scam services and apps billing you extra dollars every month.
Both Verizon and AT&T users have been subjected to this scam. Scammers register hundreds of domain names with alphabets ‘Verizon or VZW’ followed by 2 or 3 digits (In the case of AT&T, the2 or 3 digits follow ‘ATT’). VZW ostensibly stands for VeriZon Wireless and the phishing websites are clones of official Verizon website.
Scammers set up robo call system which is programmed to call a bundle of numbers with Verizon01 as the first website name. Once these numbers are exhausted, it picks up the next database and calls with another website name, in the series.
We can presume that in a set of 1000 calls, at least there would be a couple of naïve people who would have tried to log in, at the phishing page. By the end of the robo call exercise, the crooks would have enough accounts in hand, to mount serious attack.
Scammers register new website domains, carry out fraud and once user complaints build up on the net, the sites are pulled down. New websites are launched and the cycle continues.
