I live in Egypt, and have an Egyptian issue credit card. Today the bank called me because two transactions were made from Verizon wireless VZWRLSS totaling 400 dollars and they thought that transaction unusual. Card was immediately disabled. Tried calling verizon customer service but they were not helpful.
This is obviously a fraud, and it doesn't even need an investigation into it. My card is issued from an Egyptian bank, the billing address is in Egypt and all is Egyptian about my card. Verizon requires at least zip code before a card an be used. Name on my card is my name, and I never ever had anything to do with any phone or telecommunication company in the US. So it is crystal clear that this is fraud, yet no one in Verizon even wants to listen. My bank here in Egypt is trying to sort it out but seems their resources are limited. Any suggestions?
