I receive hundreds of emails everyday. Some are interesting and others are surprising. Last week, I found out in an email that the IRS is withholding my refund until I verify my identity and provide my personal checking account number. And, my Consumer Cellular account will be suspended within 24 hours, unless I follow the link to verify my personal information.

On top of that, my account at the Bank of America has been suspended until I verify my account number and personal information. If that wasn't bad enough, my recent Amazon order has been cancelled because my payment was rejected. And, my order will be cancelled unless I provide another method of payment. If all that wasn't bad enough, Verizon will not ship my FREE IPHONE until I verify my account by clicking on the link provided.

Unfortunately, the bad news didn't end there. T-Mobile will suspend my service unless I click the link and verify my information. And, the bad news didn't end with T-Mobile. My Capital One account has been billed $7,500. The instructions say: "Click the link below to verify or deny payment." Fortunately, I don't have a Consumer Cellular, Bank of America, Capital One, Verizon, or T-Mobile account. I haven't ordered anything from Amazon recently, and I know the IRS isn't holding up a refund.

People fall for email........
