phising attempt call from 800-922-0204

Just got a call from 800-922-0204 telling me I could get $24 off my next bill by visiting www.verizon24.com and logging in.  Visiting the site with incognito mode it's using Verizon's logo, etc, and all the links point to the usual verizonwireless.com pages, however it's obviously fake since if you enter random numbers for the login it'll tell you that you've "won" and then asks for the necessary personal information to gain access to your real account.

I've reported the site to the domain registrar's legal department.  The domain name was created yesterday, 4 Apr 2014, and has the following registration information.

We received calls yesterday and today on each of our Verizon mobile phones.  Although it sounded too good to be true, I signed in to check it out.  That's when it started to really smell as they asked questions for personal data that Verizon already has on file.  I guess I need to change my Verizon password to ensure no unauthorized access.  Their web page really looked real.  I wonder how many people will fall for this scheme....?
