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.

Similar emails requiring bank account numbers, CC numbers, SS numbers, etc have be sent out appearing to be from all diffferent ISP's, banks, ebay, paypal, and I hear now even the IRS.
It's a cutthroat world out there.
