2. AT & T never send users emails requesting details in this way.
3. URL of spoof website disguised as https://my.att.net/AuthN.login?sid=c0?p=addcreditcard
Looks secure (https), but the real thing is NOT!

" Dear AT&T Internet Services Customer, Recently we attempted to authorize payment from your credit card we have on file for you, but it was declined. "
If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
