Scammers pretending to give away free Verizon cellphones

Verizon Wireless is warning people not to fall for a scam where you'll get a free cellphone and service for just the cost of shipping and handling ($3.95). Apparently a few overly credulous people fell for it, forking over their checking account information to the scammers and only realizing they'd been had when they called up Verizon to ask where their free phone was.
