We’ve had several reports of scam text messages impersonating employees.
Our main form of communication within the company is via Email, Microsoft Teams, or WhatsApp which are all assigned with your work phone.
Furthermore, we utilize a company address book with all employee’s business contact details to verify their contact information which can be done in Outlook. Please refer to the attached file for instructions.
So, all we can advise is the following:
- Verizon would never text you with a web link. If you are suspicious of the text, do not carry out any instruction from within it.
- NEVER reply to these texts, do NOT text back ‘STOP’.
- NEVER click on any link within these texts.
- Block the number. Instructions* on how to do this from an iPhone are attached.
