Verizon users should always go directly to www.verizon.net and sign into their accounts to view important updates or notifications. And, those who have already been tricked by the phishing email are asked to change their passwords and contact Verizon before their accounts are hijacked and used fraudulently.

I'm always getting the same thing from a ksrld-______. The first part is always the same, but the last part keeps changing. I figured out that it was a scammer right away when I saw the misspelled name of Verizon.
This scammer can't even spell Verizon correctly, they spell it Verison
I have received at least 15 of these emails. The From address always starts off as ksrld- but the domains are different.
me also and think it is funny since all of a sudden they are saying Verison and cannot spell correctly
