Somehow or other a group of thieves/hackers have gotten Verizon pins. I know for sure nobody knows my PIN other than me, not even my wife, but someone called in with my info and stole my number. They are calling Verizon and porting the number to a new phone, then using that to gain access to bank account information. I was the third caller with the exact same issue. $1k taken from bank after PIN, password, etc. changed on bank account online as they impersonate you with your phone number.
Then, of course, since they have your phone number your phone won't work as you no longer have service. I was able to report it with my wife's phone but will be without my number for 3-5 days. I should be able to get a temporary number tomorrow.
Check your verizon account and change your PIN now if you are still in control of your account.
