A resident reported the she had received an email, alleging that her Verizon Wireless “AUTO PAY” account had been cancelled, “AT HER REQUEST”. This email stated that she was to click on a link listed in the email, to make a payment. This VERY ALERT resident called Verizon Wireless and was informed that they had not cancelled her “Auto-Pay”, and that this was the third call relative to this same situation. This “VERIZON EMAIL” looks very official, but VERIZON STATED THAT IT IS A SCAM.
THE OBJECT OF THIS SCAM IS TO OBTAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION !!!
There are likely other variations using other company names.
NEVER CLICK ON ANY LINK THAT YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE !!!
