I get these emails at least twice a week. The upgrade date always changes or it says IMPORTANT INFORMATION, etc. I never click on the link but I contacted Frontier and they confirmed it's not them. Also, if you hover over the sender, you will see a wide variety of senders along with various spellings of Frontier or their web address. There is always a "tell" in either the sender or spelling. It's pretty annoying but I'm used to it now.
I keep getting these emails everyday. Any suggestion to stop these frontier email phishing emails?
