Scamming - Fraud
If you receive a text which appears to be from VZON saying that your current bill has been paid and ask you to click on a link that says: "Here’s a gift for you," please do not. This is because the fake text message is a scam being sent by scammers to trick potential victims into clicking on the link in it. The link goes to a phishing website that steals account credentials, personal and financial information.
If you were tricked by the scam, please contact Verizon for help. And, if you submitted financial information on the phishing website that you were taken to, please contact your bank for help.

How do I delete the message off my iPhone?
How do we report this scam, or do we just witness a train wreck and be glad it wasn't us? This is a potential crime and should be punished.
