It is 100% spam/phishing.

The only problem is that Verizon no longer takes care of email; now AOL handles it.

Never let yourself do anything but laugh when you read things like that. For starters, no company is going to suddenly cancel your account out-of-the-blue unless maybe you haven't been paying for instance, but this? Just say no.

Everyone needs to be skeptical, in fact, overly skeptical. I shudder thinking of all the people, new users, older gullible users, young gullible users, being duped every day.

Rules for email:

1. If you didn't ask for it, it's not on order. ignore and mark as spam any "confirmations" for things you did not order
2. If the message threatens in any way (going to cancel, etc.) ignore and mark as spam. Legit companies do not operate in that fashion
3. Use your spam filters -- occasionally look to see if they accidentally caught a legit email but keep the bulk out of your inbox
4. Use throw-away email addresses to register for things you don't need to interact with. Sites that simply require an email to download something for instance. You can also create additional gmail accounts for this purpose and just infrequently log-in, if at all

Others can think of more rules but that's a start.

Be skeptical! If you're ever in doubt, just delete

Look at the bad grammar and punctuation, that's always a dead giveaway for spam.

This is a phishing scam. Verizon doesn't pay employees to time stamp ("exact time"?) and individually track your mails.

Don't respond. Verizon has a way for you to report these bogus emails.

I got a notice from "Microsoft", and a version of the same notice in French. Guess that comes from signing up for a mailing list that originates in France, since I've done nothing else that required a login at a French site.

Weird syntax there. Even "Please reply to us" would've sounded odd to my ear.

Good job on avoiding a problem, CP.

I don't have Verizon email. I ignored it as harassment. Everything still works.
