Scams using the Verizon name
Phone, broadband and energy providers send bills every month, so a fake bill blends right in.
Bill overdue or big discount
Messages claim your bill is overdue, or offer a large discount or refund, to get you onto a fake payment page.
SIM swap
Scammers convince a provider to move your number to their SIM, then receive your security codes. A sudden loss of signal is a warning sign.

Step by step
How to check a message that claims to be from Verizon
- 1
Look at the actual sender address, not just the name. Tap or hover over the name to reveal it. It must end in @verizon.com, or a subdomain of one.
- 2
Do not use links or phone numbers from the message. Type verizon.com into your browser or open the official Verizon app, and check your account there.
- 3
Slow down when you see urgency, small fees, gift cards, crypto, or requests for codes and passwords. Those are the levers every scam pulls.
- 4
Still unsure? Paste the sender address or link into the checker above.
Questions
Verizon scam FAQ
What email address does Verizon use?
Genuine Verizon email comes from addresses ending in @verizon.com, or a subdomain of those (for example something@mail.verizon.com). An address on any other domain, even one containing "verizon", is not Verizon.
Can scammers fake an @verizon.com email address?
We are running the first check on verizon.com. Until then, assume a sender address alone proves nothing and verify by visiting verizon.com yourself.
Are there websites pretending to be Verizon?

What should I do if I clicked a link in a fake Verizon message?
Do not enter anything else. If you typed a password, change it at verizon.com straight away and turn on two-step sign-in. If you entered card or bank details, call your bank using the number on your card. Then report the message using the guide below.
