Scam



This scam appears to making the rounds again. I see it on a regular basis. If you receive a message similar to the one below, from any Internet Service Provider (ISP) you should ignore it.


No reputable ISP would ever ask you to verify your information in this way. Don't be sucked in by people trying to steal your information.
