Default Call from 949-286-3311 which claims to be from Verizon Wireless

Anyone get a call from this number claiming to be Verizon Wireless? I got it on my home caller ID, but hadn't answered it. When I looked up the phone number background, I got a possible scam warning.

Yes it does, that's why I looked it up. Usually they text me with any info.
Anyways, just wanted to open up discussion about it, for more info and to share the info.

Nope, got suspicious as to why they were calling my landline, so I Googled the number and got numerous scam report hits.

Some have stated they reported it to Verizon already. I would call them about it, but I would probably just get pissed off again about them excluding my Q1 from their new $29.99 data plans!!!

I had a cold call yesterday from someone from a local store (that I never dealt with) leaving a message on my landline saying that they can save me money on my bill, etc. I will look up the number and see if its the same.
