Here is a copy of the Email that was sent to me. I figured it was real and out of panic (since this phone is my life line for my business) I did not hesitate to Renew.
First it ask you to login - It captures your login information, No matter what you type in for the password it will let you in (Lucky for me I happened to type in the wrong one).
Then it asks for the last 4 of your credit card. This is what alerted me to a scam. I checked the URL and sure enough it was not Vonage!
I am VERY careful with this type of stuff and was somewhat embarrased to post that I was almost had by this Phising scheme.
So Be careful - Things in your email are not always what they seem, rule of thumb is chat the URL and if not the same of the company most likely it is a scam.
