There have been several reports of very convincing emails purporting to be from Verizon Wireless, requesting that you pay your bill.  The emails look very authentic, with logos and advertising, but link off to a non-Verizon website where the attackers are seeking to steal your credit card and/or bank account information.

Please be wary of such emails, and always double check the links that you click in emails.
