Beware of Vodafone and Verizon ‘your credit balance is over its limit’ emails
There’s a deluge of scam emails doing the rounds at the moment, purporting to be from Vodafone or Verizon with a subject of ‘your credit balance is over its limit’ – and containing a dangerous looking file purporting to be a balance checker that it says you should run.
Of course it’s not a genuine email, and the attached executable is malware – so you SHOULD NOT open the attachment, or click on any links.
The text of the ‘Vodafone’ email is similar to this:
Dear Vodafone customer,
Your credit balance is over its limit. Please use the attached Vodafone Balance Checker Tool to review and analyze your payments.Yours sincerely,
Vodafone Customer Services
And the ‘Verizon’ version:
Dear Verizon customer,
Your credit balance is over its limit. Please use the attached Verizon Balance Checker Tool to review and analyze your payments.Yours sincerely,
Verizon Customer Services
