I have two emails through my internet provider...one keeps getting emails about various accounts being compromised. Most I can tell is junk, it'll be "my credit card" yet the return address is a Verizon address or something shady.
Today it's an email saying they're disabling my email until I contact them due to many attempts to make a change to it. Account wasn't disabled and I as a precaution changed my password anyway.
Some back story that is likely relevant to the situation. My credit card was compromised a few months ago. There were tickets ordered on it. I think I got an email confirming the purchase but thought it odd and a mistake until credit card company contacted me regarding the purchases. The card is linked to this particular email. So likely whoever ordered them also had or was given at some point my email address?? I'm guessing when ordering? Have no idea.
Since around that time I get bogus, we have a problem with your credit card and now today the internet provider emails probably every week or two. What I don't get is why? Is it the same scammer? Half the time I don't even have the credit cards they indicate so I know it's just crap. It just bugs me to not understand the why of it....is there a connection between what happened with cc earlier or it's this just spam crap?
