I have been having a major problem regarding login to "My Account". I've
been calling and emailing VZW Web Services about this for over a month now.
They appear to be clueless. Apparently someone/something is trying to log
into my account to the tune of 2-10 attempts a day (rough estimate based on
previous responses by reps). I noticed this only because I have been having
to change my pin everytime I log into the account over the last 7+ months -
only recently was it enough of a nuisance for me to call and find out why.
I never knew this could be the problem.
The steps I have taken include:
changing my username twice
changing my pin from the auto-issued one to another that I chose
*adding a password onto the account
calling web services at least 15 times in the last month
asking about this at 611 just in case someone can help
asking about changing my account NUMBER since the login is probably
using that (but they tell me it's like opening a new account - not sure this
is a workable option)
emailing web services since no one ever called me back from web serv. as
promised
probably something else that I've forgotten...
When I called again yesterday (because my bill is due today and I will have
to change the fing PIN again to get into My Account) the rep seemed baffled
by all the trouble (they call them remedy) tickets. I only knew of two or
three but apparently there were many more.
Please, does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing?? What
other steps should I take to get this resolved? I really don't know who
might be trying to log into my account. I have never thrown out a bill, so
the account number shouldn't be out there. Furthermore no changes have been
made that I can tell, and I just successfully upgraded my plan and phone on
July 4... no weird phone/data charges or anything like that (no cloning).
There's a number for Fraud but I guess I don't fall under that category
(yet?) because I gave them a call, told them what was going on, and they
sent me to web serv. I wish the calls to web serv didn't cost me minutes.
Ok. All you VZW-heads, help me on this!

*I STRONGLY urge everyone to add a password onto your account if you haven't
already. Just call 611. This supercedes soc#. If someone has your name,
mobile # and soc, they can make changes to your account.
