Fraud Alert!

I just got this in my email. It’s complete with Verizon Wireless graphics:

Your current bill for your account is now available online in My Verizon

Total Balance Due: $1706.74

Keep in mind that payments and/or adjustments made to your account after your bill was generated will not be reflected in the amount shown above.

Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless.

One little problem…. I don’t have Verizon Wireless.

I’m sure this has been out there for a while, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. The links provided on the page are not letting me access the page. If i were using a Windows machine, that might be different. I am on my Linux computer, so I’m safe from any virus that might be attached to the e-mail or links. Regardless… Be warned. I’m sure there are a few people who might have gotten scammed in this fashion.
