fraud alert
Hello everyone. I just wanted to put an alert out there regarding an email I got from Verizon. I do have a couple of Verizon accounts, and this email looked EXACTLY like the regular emails I get from them. However, the dollar amount was way off. It has a clickable link in the email, so I hovered over it to preview the URL. It does NOT go to an official Verizon website - it looks like Verizon, but once you type in your name and password, the scammers have your information. The same scam has been happening with Amazon shoppers, which can be really bad if you are signed up for the 1-click purchasing.
How to deal with this: Do NOT click any link in any email. If you have a question about your account with any vendor, open a new browser window, type in the URL yourself, and check your account.
