Received an email about upgrading SBC global Email

We're here to help address your email phishing concerns, @MoDril

Generally speaking, if an email comes from an address that ends in the domain '@att.com', it can normally be assumed that it's a legitimate communication from us. If you believe the email to be a phishing email attempt though, then we encourage you to report the fraudulent email. Here's how you can do so:

Report email fraud
Email fraud can include phishing and fake emails from AT&T. 

• Forward the email to AT&T at abuse@att.net.
• Forward the email to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org.
• Report email fraud to the FTC.

We hope the information helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns we can resolve for you!

I will add that a lot of official AT&T mail doesn't come from "att.com" it comes from "att-mail.com".  But if isn't one of those two domains, it probably isn't official AT&T mail.

If you want a definitive ruling, post a screenshot of the e-mail.

Sounds like the common phishing scam to me.  

I figured as much, the email starts with havsvsgsvsvs so i was already skeptical, but all the certificates seemed legit, so I couldn't be sure.

On the off chance its real, I would be able to get my email back right?

We would be happy to help you resolve this email issue @MoDril

I've forwarded the email to the AT&T "abuse" account. My email account is still intact so, its even more obvious it was a phishing scam. Thank you both for all your help and replies!

We appreciate the update, @MoDril.

Glad to see that you've email to the AT&T "abuse" account.
