Hi,

 

We have recently become aware of this e-mail. It was not generated by AT&T, and we believe it is a scam. Please help us track the person responsible for this e-mail by forwarding the message with the Internet headers to: abuse@att.net.

 

Thank you,

Is Yahoo really trying to take over att.net email? All of a sudden one day all my at&t email was transferred to a Yahoo account. What happened? I had to start my AT&T email from scratch. What is going on? How do I get the Yahoo mail back to. AT&T?

Also, hover over where it says click here and note this address shows up:grasshopperstreet.com/css/universitymail.html

definately not at&t.

also any mails like this first look at the header info on the mail and google the ip addresses that it

displayes.

though least now if leave at&t you get to keep your email once it is on the yahoo system.
