I received it too as well as several other similar letters from other banks including from a bank that I DO HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH. The problem was that it was received at my wife's email address which the bank does not have. I called the bank and they said that they have been getting complaints about this kind of email and it is not coming from them. They will investigate it further. In the mean time they advised DO NOT REPLY TO ANY EMAIL WHICH ASKS FOR YOUR SSN OR OTHER PERSONAL INFO. CHARLIE K. F.
