New Scam Alert: Major phishing attempt targeting Verizon customers

Fox 59 News reported:   
According to an alert from Fortra, scammers are blasting out emails that are realistic enough to look like they’re coming from Verizon. According to Fortran, whoever is sending the emails has found ways to bypass traditional email security gateways and filtering tools so they land in your inbox instead of your junk folder.

The email itself may appear like a fake Verizon invoice, and it requires you to log in to your account and click a link provided in the message. 

However, if you do that, you’re just handing over your login information. Clicking the link could allow the bad guys to install malware on your computer or device.

Here’s a look at the email and sender information to be on the lookout for:

  • Sender’s Email: member@surveymonkeyuser.com 
  • Reply-to Address: ms365@verizservus.33mail.com  
  • Sender’s Name: ms365@veriservus.33mail.com via SurveyMonkey  
  • Registration Date: August 18, 2016  
  • Organization: SurveyMonkey Inc.
