Now, being a little technologically competent and a criminal defense attorney I know this is a scam. I click thru and get to this WARNING - DO NOT ENTER ANY INFORMATION INTO THE LINKED PAGE - EXPECT ANY INFORMATION ENTERED TO BE STOLEN AND USED AGAINST YOU!
I'm not dumb enough to put any info in but I realize that in order to target this toward me someone likely has my email address and knows I bank at SunTrust. So I print the email and take down the address of the link. Then I take it across the street to my bank. The bank's reaction? I get told not to enter any information in any emails I get from someone claiming to be a bank. DUH. After I fuss a little the lady grudgingly takes the papers from me and sets them next to her on the desk. I'm pretty sure they hit the trash after I left.
AAaaarrrggggg!!!!

I get several of these a week, for SunTrust and CitiBank, but I don't bank at either.
So yeah, they have your email address, but I doubt they know you bank at SunTrust.

Interesting. This is the first of these I've gotten. I've gotten ones for ebay and Amazon and, of course, "Hello, I am Prince Obati of Nigeria and I need to get 6 million dollars transferred to the United States."
I guess it was just luck that the first bank hit was from my bank.
