AT&T Phishing scam email
Received 2 emails from AT&T saying : "you have incoming emails on hold because your AT&T mail version is outdated and has expired. AT&T may at anytime terminate it's service for accounts. Please Click Here to re-validate your mailbox. Note: Failure to comply withinn 48 hrs might lead to permanent deactivation".
I have NOT clicked on Click Here. Dont' really trust. Sent from 2 different names with .edu at the end.
My email is a Yahoo account (no help there) and end of my address is sbcglobal.net.
Any thoughts ?

That sound similar to other phishing emails people have reported in the past. That .edu in the From field was your first clue! Below is my standard summery of the kinds of things to look for in any possible phishing email:

I've done the same as you...ignored and deleted it. I think it's a phishing attempt to access my account(s) and will never consent to it!

In addition to what @_xyzzy_ said, @att.com is also used for emails from AT&T
And yeah, this sounds like a phishing attempt.
