Was a text telling me to call this number to complete a 5 minute survey to get a $100 cash reward

They call, and it is an automated caller saying that if the person (who is no one I know, and can only assume had this number before I got it) is available to call a number. THIS IS NOT VERIZON!!! This is something else. If you have Verizon, you can call and have them block the number from calling you. But, be warned that this is not the only number the "communications" company calls from, and you may be needing to block more than one. My advice, after the 3rd number is blocked, call the number in the message, and have them remove you. Calling Verizon is easier though, so that is why I would block the 1st 3 numbers...

an indian man called me and told me i have an outstanding loan for 350 dollars and that i must get a criminal lawyer to call them and that if i dont do that or pay it would cost me 6000 dollars and that i can expect to be terminated from my job the next day! I never took out such a loan!

called at 9:00PM Halloween night!

Caller said he was going to kill me and my family. He said he was going to come over to my home and rape my children and blow up our home. He claimed to be e a telemarketer with Global International. Please watch out for this number!!

I just got a call from a man wanting to "confirm my listing" in the internet yellow pages. I asked how he got my number and he gave me some cockamamie response, including that I'd get a complementary listing because I'm a small business. No way--this has got to be a scam. I asked him to give me the information he had already on me so I could confirm . . . he hung up. I called the number on my caller ID and it picks up but no one answers. I could hear people talking in the background (not English)--I guess other scammer-reps trying to dupe people who don't know the score. What can be done about these vultures? Thank you.
