I receive an email that I believe to be a hoax from sbcglobal internet services How do I determine if it is ok?

the email was from fgallant7314@rogers.com and asks me to click a link to confirm my email address. It states that it is asking me to do so because I have been sending too much spam and my box is full.

Well, it's not from SBCglobal.net, an SBC employee wouldn't be using and provider like @rogers.com for work, it is probably a hoax. Clicking the link might take you somewhere that will upload a virus or something.
Reply:It probably is spam.


Hover over the link to see where it's directing you to. If you see an IP address (such as http://209.885.171.100) or an address that is not your ISP it's definitely spam.


You can always contact your ISP directly to ask about it.

There is no way that SBCGLOBAL would send you an email from a rogers.com email address. It is unlikely that they would send you an email from an sbcglobal account either. ATT.COM maybe...





Good luck

If you click the link you could get viruses, adware, spyware, etc.


And by clicking on the link, you also confirm a valid email address.


You will really get a lot of email spam after that!
