its obviously fake.


a) your not from that bank.

b)here is what they do, they send an email to random adressess, hoping that someone believes them. they send a link to their website (wich they make identical to the actual website, except it has a keylogger which is sent to the the phisher who gets that information and can access you bank account. its called phishing for information. they say something like this. get some innocent person, tricks them into giving the info and steals their money.

c)no bank needs to do this. they only ask for info online if YOU are accessing your account.

d)ive seen this email when i was doing phishing in BCS

also, the authorities cant do anything. most likely, this is from overseas. and the internet is one of the toughest places to police. IP's facked, Accounts hijacked and money stolen. sometimes for supplying illeagle and dangerous groups. the best thing you can do is ignore and block the email adress, and delete it. dont reply, cause then they'll know someone is there and spam the heck out of you untill you fall for it.


also, you dont need to wipe your comp. thats for sure. but scan your comp and delete any viruses. finding them is not enough, isolate and delete.


and considering its your email they're after, not your comp, theres no need for wiping your comp. they are just after you bank account.
