I just had a missed call from 888-453-1918 (also without a voicemail) as well and instead of calling them back, I decided to see if I could find them on the web. Thank goodness I did. Last thing I need is for some phishing scam to steal money from me as well as the government! Thank you for posting this.

From "AccountNotify@verizonwireless." It has an attachment, with NO SUBJECT (fishy, yeah?) size is 9kb. I did NOT open it because I have never seen a Verizon email from this address before. I just marked it as SCAM and DELETED it. Anybody else get this email?

I knew something was fishy because I'm on the DO NOT CALL LIST but I am getting these spamming numbers pop up. That's why I do an Intelius search and google search on every one of them. Thanks, Andy!
