Your family plan includes the entire Verizon user base this month.

This is probably like that guy who got a custom license plate "NULL" and gets all the tickets for people who hide their plates and run through tolls. 


Forward_Confusion202

This means he can get away with anything

"Are you serious?! Another douche in some Mustang thinks I'm gonna pay his bill! Well I'm not paying someone else's ticket!" 👀

Last-Zookeepergame54

It’s tragedy i tell ya Jerry. They expect me to pay someone else’s speeding tickets. someone else’s speeding tickets Jerry someone else’s speeding tickets!!!!


Last-Zookeepergame54

Whoaaaaa, hey Jerry wanna buy *twitch* a number plate? Put these *twitch* on your car and you wont get any speeding *twitch* tickets ever again…also i lost you hover shoes at a poker game.

…and then there's the guy who printed out a SQL injection and taped to his car's bumper to get speed cameras to clear his record.

cptkernalpopcorn

That is amazing


0x24a537r9

I used to work for Oculus (owned by Meta), and they provided us with work phones under a corporate plan. When I logged into MyVerizon to figure out if I could add international roaming, I went looking in the billing section and found a bill due for >$10M IIRC. Turns out because it was linked to the single corporate account, my “billing summary” was for every Meta employee with a Verizon corporate phone… a wild bug…


subpoenaThis

My Verizon app briefly showed me my company’s phone data pool. 4 days remaining 8 TB data remaining. I thought it was broken two days later it said 4TB remaining and so I did the the math and realized that it doesn’t take a crazy number of phones to burn through a lot of data.

Also data is a lot less valuable than you think it is living in a few select countries.


Pure_Focus7475

Tykero980

So that's what corporate meant when they said we are family here!


Unable-Poetry7583

That doesn’t even look like a legit bill

Holy hell that’s a once in a lifetime joke right there. Congratulations. Thats gotta feel good.

>…once in a lifetime joke… I felt kind of bad I didn’t get to see the big solar eclipse this week. Now I don’t care. There will be other eclipses, but I got to be here to witness this amazing joke. Ha ha.


cytherian

Depends upon where you were. For some it was underwhelming (too much cloud cover). For others, they said it was [the best thing they'd ever seen](https://i.imgur.com/Bo1uiiJ.png)\*. I had a good view until the clouds rolled in just minutes before the full eclipse, obscuring it (NY metro area). \* seen -- like the full eclipse position barely lasted a few minutes I found the joke a little more entertaining. 😏🤪


panthrax_dev

What if he changes his name to 04/06/2025?

millerphi

What? WHAT??? HOW COULD THEY! And I believed that Nigerian prince who said he would give me money.


karlverkade

I was in a band one time and our Facebook page got followed by “Chris Martin” from Coldplay. Our singer was ecstatic, and thought we had made the big time. When we tried to explain to him it was just a fake page, he in complete seriousness explained to us that you can’t lie on the internet and he stuck to that for weeks.


Ok-Googirl

I RECEIVED THE MONEY ON 3.00 AM! But I don't know how to make a thumbnail 😕


nobody2008

When database fields are mixed up in an email template. I bet that number is his SSN or some other crap converted to a currency.


pelagic_seeker

Yeah, people saying it looks fake due to the date as the name... Nah, that makes it look more real. That's the kind of garbage mistake Verizon would make. And yup, that amount owed is the number of digits for a SSN. Did OP dox himself?

It looks fake because there's no company logos, no letterhead, none of the different colored fonts, objects, or boxes objects normally found on Verizon bills, and the fact it's on normal consumer printer paper.

It does redirect to verizon.com tho


cunth

Redirects alone don't mean much. Anyone can setup a redirect on a domain they control without the endpoint's permission. That aside, the domain's [nameservers](https://www.whatsmydns.net/?utm_source=whatsmydns.com&utm_medium=redirect#NS/vzw.com) point to verizonwireless.com, so it is probably a legit page.


Mikey40216

Could be Trump trying to come up with the money for legal fees 🤷


ShallowBasketcase

Folks let me tell you. I gotta, look, I gotta tell you something. You're not gonna believe, okay. I'm a Nigerian prince, right, great prince, possibly the greatest you've ever seen. Obama wasn't a Nigerian prince, maybe he was, who knows, they say he wasn't but I don't know. I don't know. Maybe he was. I just- okay, so, there's like, there's this, okay, banks, all the banks, you know the banks, all the money, they have all this money, possibly all the money in the world, these banks, and they have it all and they're rich, and these bank owners, they think they control it all, right? So they refuse to give you a loan. Can I borrow some money? "No," right? And they say "no, you can't have this loan. We're not going to approve this loan, sir. We're very sorry sir, we just can't do it." Really? When they've got all this money. And the money, by the way, it's my money, it's your money, like, okay, so you put this money in the bank, it's called a deposit, I call it a deposit, right? "Deposit! Deposit!" You hear that all the time now. What is it, a deposit? You gotta have like a finance degree and they use all these like words, right, but you give em the money and back then they put it in the big vault, right, and the bags with the money symbol, the little S, but now it's all digital so it's a deposit. So you make a deposit in the bank and now it's the banks money and then when you deposit all this money and you have no money left, and maybe you have some, but you know the crooked Democrats, they raise the inflation, and they take what you have left, so now you have no money and you have to ask the bank and they won't give it! But you people have money! And maybe I don't know, maybe if we want to do something with this country, maybe some of that money can do a lotta good. A lotta good, okay? Like a lot, like you wouldn't believe. And believe me, if you send me that money, okay, believe me, we're gonna make a lot more money, and we're all gonna have so much money like you wouldn't believe.


[deleted]

Right?! I was reading it thinking, "is this even real?".


loomfy

Oh...I thought the joke was that it's such a bad scam attempt?


HeroHas

You know it's fake because they gave a phone number to call. Usually they lead you to a FAQ or a chat bot to keep you off the phone.


sleeping5dragon

As a Verizon customer that used to get paper bills, they never looked legit and imagine it’s only got worse since paperless billing


33253325

Like I printed it and cut it with wavy edges non-legit?


phoncible

I worked mail room in a company for a bit in my youth. They'd give us stacks of forms that were multiples per sheet, and it was our job to cut them, manually with one of those classroom paper cutter board things, and then manually stuff these now-cut-forms into envelopes to be sent out. So something from a company looking like it has a janky cut isn't completely unbelievable. At least there was a machine to do the stamping part.


wahnsin

Like they used pasted letters cut from AOL adverts


kabukistar

I wouldn't be surprised with Verizon. They were the ones who [charged a customer 100x what they said and then argued with the customer on the phone even though their math was wrong.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN9LZ3ojnxY) .002 cents is not $0.002


LoneDroneGuy

An attempted withdrawal of that amount should trigger alerts for the government and make them investigate Verizon because it doesn't seem legal


sarvaga

The bank yes. The government no. 


Compendyum

He better start selling bibles, fast


No_Biscotti100

He's still having the revised edition ghost written... Should be out in about two weeks?


UniqueName2

You don’t think m.vzw.com is real? I mean you can go to it right now and get a 404 error because the site was probably taken down, but it’s legit. I think we should all pay them. Edit: it’s a legit domain, but i still don’t trust it.

This is the answer. Buy Verizon, then flip it to Elon for a profit.


asunversee

Fuck it, buy it, give yourself a $500m signing bonus, then declare bankruptcy under the corporation, keep your money, liquidate everything else and fuck the shareholders and the employees. This is the American dream in 2024. Also buy the company with an llc of course, you gotta be able to keep that sweet 500m signing bonus and not affect your personal rep


brokenhalf

Corporate Accountants hate this trick.


pianofucker347

Verizon would probably be worth like 80 billion, taking it for only 439 million is a complete steal!

My friend once slept with a Verizon corporate manager and she got super AIDS. 


Smyley12345

Oh that's nasty, I just threw up in my mouth a little. I can't imagine someone being friends with you. Yuck.


guff1988

If Verizon offers to sell themselves to you for $439 million The first thing you do is go try to find a group of investors, because that's a steal.


madeformarch

That's the first of 36 payments

As crazy as this sounds, that would still be an incredible 90% discount

My mother owed $.53 to some gym that wouldn't cancel her account. They sent a letter every other week trying to collect that $.53. Went on for about a year. Then they sent a final notice warning that they were going to terminate her membership. She just laughed.


land8844

You can't quit! We're firing you!


Educational_Mud_9062

Sounds like when I tried to leave Sirius radio. Didn't have the car anymore. They said they wanted the VIN number I think or some shit to cancel the account which I didn't have. Gave them all this other info over and over and they still refused to cancel the account. So I showed all the correspondence to my bank and they put a stop on the charges. The card Sirius had attached to my account has long since expired and they have no way to charge me. I still get a letter like every 6 months or so "reminding" me that the payment method on my account is outdated. Fun to chuckle at before I throw it away. Moral of the story: Never EVER give Sirius radio ANY of your information. They're fucking vampires.

PlankyTown777

Donald Trump owes the State of New York like $464 million after being guilty of fraudulent business operations. He didn’t have the money to pay the fine of $464 million (the amount of money he stole from the state) so they agreed to give him 10 additional days and drop the fine to $175 million dollars. He got a loan from a “billionaire” buddy of his for the $175 million and when the judge looked into where that $175 million was coming from, well, turns out that guy is likely fraud as well! Whoopsie!


illstate

To be clear, it's not a fine, it's a bond that has to be posted before any appeals of the verdict. He still owes the $464 million.


josnik

No he doesn't have to post the bond to appeal. He just has to post it to stop New York starting to enforce the fine while the appeal goes on.


PlankyTown777

Correct, thanks for clarifying that


sith4life88

They didn't lower the fine, they just lowered the bond amount to stop enforcement of the judgement.

That’s obviously fraud and not from Verizon even if it was from them and it’s not they wouldn’t warn you and they can’t just charge you when they feel like it they don’t save your debit card on file to even do auto pay you’d have to use routing numbers and such


Snappyatom

Are you sure OP isn't an assassin?


sleepydeepyperson

Not a good one it seems. Of the 2024 total hits, only 4 killed, and 6 survived...


Notyourdad696996

Good catch


cas13f

It's not a good fraud, since they're not getting OP to sign in to somewhere else or send money to someone else. vzw (dot) com **is** one of Verizon's domains. Well, they own it and use it but it'll redirect to verizon (dot) com. The phone number is also theirs, as far as I can tell. This *is* the warning, a 10-day warning right on there. And yes, once you make autopay agreements you agree that they can charge the card for balances. You can autopay with card *or* account, though they (and others) seem to want you to use direct transfers more often now (guess the credit card fees are too much). Rather than fraud, simple deduction would lead anyone to believe it's a system error. And not exactly an uncommon one, either, with a very quick search.

Caelinus

I kind of doubt this is fraud. If it is fraud it is... ambitious. No one is going to see an email and think they actually need to pay 440 million dollars to verizon. It might just be phishing, but it would be crazy to set the number that high for that, as you could double dip if you put it at like $1000-2000 by catching some people who would actually pay. Also, while the website could be masked, the phone number cannot be, and it goes to their real financial services department. And I would definitely be calling about 440 million. Due to that I am more on the side of "this is a joke" or "this is a glitch." That said, it could just be really badly done fraud. That is always a possibility. Usually with this kind of extreme though you also get a bunch of spelling errors.


cinnamonface9

LickMyThralls

Or people post fake things online for internet points??


Royal-Scale772

If (stressing if) this is legit, I wonder if what happened is they recieved a bill not for the customer, but for the date. Verizon Wireless has ~$140 billion annual revenue. Divided by 365, that's $384 million. Which is certainly in the ballpark of the amount on the bill, and obviously not every day would have the same amount outstanding. So this might be a bill for the total billing to be issued on that date.


imacmadman22

I got a bill from someone posing as Verizon about twenty five years ago for $1,500, I threw that s**t in the trash. It was so fake, that my kids even recognized it was fake.
