Description

On May 21, 2025 i called Verizon to pay my cable bill, i got the phone number from the internet, i spoke to someone and told them i neede to pay my cable bill, he told me how much to pay and he even gave me my address, city and state, i assumed it was Verizon, i then gave him my cc number and he gave me a confirmation number, which is ************ . The following day my cable and internet was turned off, so once again i called the number that was on the tv to restore my services, someone there said they did not receive any payment and i would have to pay again in order to have my services back, so i paid again. I tried calling the number i have, i tried emailing, i tried to reach out to the cc company and no one can help me. I don't know what to do, that is alot of money.
