phishing

I think I just responded to a phishing email. Has there been an invitation to update att.net or Yahoo mailboxes? I thought I had seen invitations to do so in the past few weeks. This email said I had not responded to previous requests and mailboxes would be discontinued tomorrow. Of course, after responding I noticed mistakes in capitalization.

Hello @billdebate,

Thank you for reaching out to us, and we're here to help address your email phishing concerns.

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!

Mike, AT&T Community Specialist
