"E-mail Account Scam"
!!!Do not open the attached file!!!

Some MobileTel Internet subscribers are being targeted by a fraudulent e-mail scheme designed to con them into handing over personal information. The "spoof" e-mail does not come from MobileTel Internet and it is very likely a trick to rob people of private information. The company has received several complaints, but has yet to figure out who is behind the scheme. If you receive a message saying that your mobiletel email account will be closed because of misuse or abuse please disregard it. This message is a hoax and actually contains a virus. If you get this by all means do not open the attached file. Just delete that message.
