Verizon Email

njoker555 · 03-09-2007

A few days ago I received an email from my ISP, verizon, well as I thought it was from Verizon. It said that they couldnt get my billing information for the month of December and asked us to fill out a form giving out our credit card number with the PIN number. That's when I got suspicious. They shouldnt ask you for your credit card PIN number. They threatened to close my account and I called my ISP and they said, NO email like that has been sent out. If you have a verizon internet connection please be aware of this. Their website was an IP Address, not a .com or .net domain. I didnt save the email so I cant state exactly what it said but I remember. Dont give out information that can get you defrauded.

In the future, you should copy all fraud emails here, including the header. Thanks for the heads up

Well when I first received that email I wasnt a part of this forum lol. It was in my spam folder too so I delete everything there subconsciously lol

As always, throwing out new ideas just to get information from the consumers. What happens if the recipient didn't have a Verizon line? lol!

But you did have a Verizon line right? If that is the case; how did the phishers able to get a hold of your e-mail add?

A company never asks you for any such creditcard information to be filled up in a mail . Instead they take you to a portal and you fill requisite details there.
