========================

Yes, you guessed it. This is a classic example of a "phishing" scam!

You should: DELETE IT.

IF you wish you can FORWARD the scam email to: reportphish@wellsfargo.com and THEN delete it.

Why do they (scammers) do this type of thing? Sadly, it's because even ONE person who gives out their bank information...and thus gives access to their bank account... makes this financially worthwhile! Sheesh!
