Following is an email I got this morning.
This had official bank letterhead and looked very real.
But I was smart enough to know that it was fake, called my bank and found out that is is fake and just a Phishing attempt.
If I had called the number and gave my banking info.. they can clean out the account!
BEWARE!!!!
