Does the link belong to US Bank? Sounds like it could be a scammer trying to your banking login info, similar to the PayPal scams we've seen before.

 

[Coastalguy]

Didn't check the link. I don't have a bank account in the US.

Oh, you're not even a US Bank customer. That makes it really obvious this is a scammer. Thanks for the heads up!

:lol: Well, if you don't have an account there, I guess you have nothing to worry about!

It is definitely a scam. I got an email from them with my brothers name sent to my email address. They must get info from domain contact info. I sometimes sell my brothers domains. So I change the contact email to mine but I keep the other info his . Neither one of us even deal with that bank.
