ATT.NET Threatening to Deactivate my Account???

Received an email with the subject: Your account will be deactivated, informing me that my request on (date and time given) to remove my account has been approved and will initiate in one hour from the exact time I opened the (email) message.

 

First of all, I made no such request and was not even on or near a computer or phone at the time and place stated.

 

The email goes on to instruct me (bad sentence structure and grammar, by the way) to continue with the removal I should ignore the message.  Otherwise I'm to reply to the email.    

 

This email was deposited in my Spam folder and not my Inbox and cam from (this is exactly how it appears): The att Accounts (customersupport@att.net).

 

HAS ANYONE ELSE RECEIVED ANYTHING LIKE THIS?  My gut tells me this is a scam so unless I learn otherwise, from a legitimate source, I am going to do nothing.

 

Any input would be much appreciated.  This is making me sick!

I get that email on a weekly basis. Try putting it into spam. Seems to by pass the spam filter when I do it.

Those guys need to get a life that does not include us.

I've been getting these bogus messages for over a year.  There are often spelling or grammar mistakes in them and they are not all alike.  I couldn't find any way to actually contact ATT, so I registered with the community site.  Lots of other people are getting them, too.  They just ignore them.  I marked them as spam so I don't get them in my regular mail.  Good luck and don't worry about it.  The actual ATT company is not closing your account.

@spams1 The email is not from ATT, it is a phishing scam. ATT would never send such an email. @droland If you want to report the phony emails, forward them to abuse@att.net
