Our terms and conditions you agreed to state that your account must always be under your control or those you designate at all times.
We have noticed some activity related to your account that indicates that other parties may have access and or control of your information in your account.

These parties have in the past been involved with money laundering, illegal drugs, terrorism and various Federal Title 18 violations.
In order that you may access your account we must verify your identity by clicking on the link below.

Please be aware that until we can verify your identity no further access to your account will be allowed and we will have no other liability for your

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Before you reactivate your account, all payments have been frozen, and you will not be able to use your account in any way until we have verified your
identity.

Scam.

May try to find some security hole, plant a trojan horse or glean info.

Seriously, did you ever give your email address to your bank?

Even if yes, it's better to check w/ your bank directly, rather than click on a dubious link.

Honestly, spammers have to be crackers/hackers these days, b/c no one orders any of their "products".

Zero sales * any amount of messages= zero sales.

I dont even bank with them. :laugh:

Quote:This weekend, a small number of our customers received a fraudulent email using the U.S. Bank name and logo. It informed them that their account had been suspended as a result of being compromised by outside parties. It was an attempt by cyber-criminals to collect personal information from the recipient by instructing the user to click on a link in order to verify their identity and have their account reinstated.

This email was a fraudulent scam. Neither your personal U.S. Bank account information nor our U.S. Bank systems have been compromised in any way. The fraudulent Web site listed in the email was shut down within hours, and we are working aggressively with law enforcement officials to resolve this incident.

Definitely a scam. I've been getting those "confirm your account" emails for a bunch of different companies lately - Earthlink, eBay, PayPal, Comcast, Bank of America, etc...

Saw it on the local news last night. It is a scam!
