As you might have heard, Verizon has launched two new phones from Motorola in the form of the Droid Turbo 2 and the Droid Maxx 2. To celebrate the launch of the devices, Verizon held a DROID Seeker game which basically gave away 200 Droid Turbo 2 phones, but unfortunately the experience was less than ideal.
To make up for the snafu, Verizon began offering some customers $50 gift cards by direct messaging users on Twitter to inform them about it. However since Verizon did not mention anything about it, some users might have thought it was spam or a scam, even though it came directly from a verified Verizon account.
After all who’s to say that Verizon’s account wasn’t compromised, right? Now if you have received the message and you’re wondering if it is legit, you can rest assured that it is. According to the folks at Droid-Life, they have confirmed with the carrier that the direct messages from Twitter are indeed from them and they are not a scam.
According to Verizon, “It is true and Verizon did offer $50 gift cards to customers who experienced technical difficulties while trying to participate.” So if you have received such a message from the carrier, you can go ahead and claim it without any issues.
