On May 15 I received an e-mail from Verizon.net saying they couldn’t access my credit card for the monthly payment for $34.95 and directed me to another site to give them my credit card number or I could lose my service.  Of course, I didn’t.  I called Verizon today and I was told they NEVER request credit card numbers by e-mail and if there is a problem I would have been notified by snail mail.  She also offered this very good info:  if I ever receive an e-mail from Verizon and there is an attachment, NEVER, NEVER open it as it contains a virus.   Yes, I use Verizon DSL.
