Yes, this is definitely a scam. I received the same email through the
Community SCALE listserv. I talked to Norm around 8:30 this morning. He had
already received several calls. I told him to change his password
immediately and notify at&t.
He had received an email requesting confirmation of his ID and password or
risk the closing of his account. Unfortunately, Norm responded.

I received the email below from someone claiming to be Norm this morning.
Many of you may have received this email as well. It is almost certainly a
scam to get someone to wire funds to the UK.
I have left a message with Norm just in case but until you hear otherwise
(i.e., from him directly), do NOT wire funds to anyone whose identity you
cannot verify.

How are you doing? This has had to come in a hurry and it has left us in a
devastating state. My family and I had a visit to (UK) for a short vacation
unannounced some days back, but unfortunately we were mugged at the park of
the hotel where we stayed by some thugs, all cash, cell phones and credit
cards were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with
us.
The Embassy and Police have failed to be effective in this matter, besides
paper work would cost us days we can't afford and our flight leaves tomorrow
but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager
won't let us leave until we settle the bills. Please I really need your
financial assistance.. Let me know if you can help us out?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Norm
