    If this is a legit/legal scam, it's a new one on me. I've used TracPhone for years, and now this. Is it a real concern?

      This is what reeks of a scam to me. However, why doncha give TracPhone's customer service a call?!

        1) The email that you got was this a plain text message or an HTML formatted message?
        2) Was your TracFone service about to expire, but you managed to extend it just a day or two before it expired?
        3) Or did you have other TracFone phone(s) in the past and decided not to extend those phone(s)?
