vzwpix scam
Scam messages have been sent to numerous Verizon Wireless customers claiming that their Pix Place accounts have expired and all data will be deleted if the user doesn’t respond in a timely manner.
Online technical support guides state that the text messages are often sent to thousands of customers at once, in the hopes that a fraction of those receiving the message will respond. Once they respond, the scammer has the user’s phone number, which is then sold to companies that deal with spam messages and possibly identity theft.
One glaring red flag that these messages are a scam is the fact that they aren’t sent from a phone number. The messages are sent from the internet, most often from vzwpix.com.
