I got the same message a few days ago. But then decided to "Research" the offer on the web. Found you guys. Yep "Scam" I'll stick with my Fitbit.

Just recieved this same message for my January Bill - It really 'looks' legit. I clicked the link, and it took me to a site with a take survey button and some reviews. It had 7 questions which I answered. They were all generic questions with no personal info. After that it landed me on a page with a button to Claim My Reward. What made me pause is that it said if I left the page they would have no choice but to not give the watch (Not exact, but something like that).

Then I searched and found this forum. I changed my Verizon password just in case and exited out of that browser session.

I assume if I tried to claim the prize I would get asked for my CC info for S&H as some responses here say.

They will actually send you a real watch if you pay shipping & handling but then, they charge your card 27.23 a month for joining their "health & wellness" site. total scam

How did you contact them to cancel or get a refund??

I experienced the same thing. I paid 7.95 for s&h. Called the bank disputed the charges and canceled the card. The weird thing is I actually received the watch today?! I'm too scared to download the app that is required. So the watch only has limited features. It seems legit but I will probably give it to my kid since I won't be downloading the app or uploading any information to it.
