If you receive a simi­lar mes­sage in your inbox you should delete it and not follow the links in the mes­sage. If you want to check your account, you should type the bank or com­pany web­site directly into your web brow­ser, or add a book­mark, rather than follo­wing links in an email. If you are unsure if an email you receive is legi­ti­mate, visit the com­pa­nies web­site directly, phone the com­pany, or con­tact their Cus­to­mer Ser­vi­ces or fraud depart­ment (usually fra…@companyname.com) to con­firm that they sent the mail.
