    Call them. Regardless of how you feel about their english. Handling things like this through email can end very badly, especially if turns out to be a Phishing scam. I got an email just the other day telling me my Wells Fargo account was compromised. To bad I never had Wells Fargo.



    Information is big business an big money. Its really no surprise why they do it.

    Enjoy your tailored advertisements!

    Sirscrapalot - Not a fan of such practices.
    That's a perfect example of one that if I had a wells fargo account I would not follow the email but would close the email site and open up the wells fargo site.

    There would be a notification at the bank web site once you have logged in if the email was real. For me its the best protection I can avail to myself. Mike
