Spammers like this tend to use a different spoofed telephone number for each message. You will probably need to ask Verizon for help, as they are the only ones who can trace the message. If you contact them by phone, they will probably give you a number to forward the message to, that they can analyze it. If you visit them, be sure to show them this screen shot. Good luck.
