When I attempted to dial the number, there was no dial tone or response msg...I called via skype, and it indicated that this was an "invalid number". I have not attempted to block the number (as of yet, the harassing text was a single occurrence). There was no VZW specific information in the message, but I reset my password nonetheless. Does VZW have a means of determining whether a text was sent from a spoofed number? Seems like this would require minimal electronic forensics.

I received an extremely rude / personal text message from a Miami, FL number that I don't know. The text contained information that could be discovered on social media (name of boyfriend /girlfriend) if the sender was a facebook friend, but otherwise it would not be available. I attempted to call and text the number but it did not process. I then googled the number, and found several online posts from people I have no association with that detailed similar harrassing text messages from that number. Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter, or know what Verizon or Law Enforcement may be able to do about it? It seems as if the text was from a spoofed number, and I'm concerned that someone may have hacked into either my Verizon account, or some other social media account.
