> Issue Update: Fraudulent Email Activity
>  
> The fraudulent email activity issue, initially reported in April 2012, has recently reoccurred with AT&T wireless customers.
> 
> It has been reported that some customers have received emails with the subject line, “your AT&T wireless bill is ready to view.” However, the links in the message take them to inappropriate third party sites or sites that ask them for their credit card information. These are not from AT&T and are not approved AT&T emails.
> 
> This issue is currently being investigated as a phishing scam.
> 
> In the meantime, please make your customers aware of the situation. If customers receive an email or emails that do not contain their account number or wireless number and do have links to inappropriate third party sites, they should NOT provide their credit card information or pay the “bill”. Instead, please have your customer forward the e-mail to abuse at att.net.
