Email Phishing Alert for AT&T users

Today there seems to be a mass email phishing scam for all AT&T customers. The solicitor (s) are asking for usernames and passwords and pretending to be the AT&T/Bell South team. Do not respond to these emails. Most companies never ever ask for personal information through email.
