Some inescrupulous people will cast out a net hoping to get some unlucky person's information for the purpose of their own financial gain.  This can be achieved, for example, by sending you an email from a financial institution (say, Chase Bank for example) that asks you to "update" your account by entering your user id and password.  The email may look official, but when you enter your info, they will use it to clear your account.

If the email is someone trying to tell you to help them with some bank deal and you'll make a lot of money, just mark it as spam.  A complete scam and I can't imagine that anyone would read it and think "oh, this sounds like a good idea, let me provide them with my bank account"

Ask for them to spend you the information via the post office.  If it is a scam, then it would be concidered mail fraud, which is a federal felony.

No, NO, NOOOO!  This is a phishing e-mail designed to get information about your identity!  Go to www.snopes.com and search for this scam.  My advice -- anytime you receive anything from anyone you don't know, delete it immediately -- do not open it, do not respond to it.

No, don't trust it. My suggestion is delete the email, and don't visit any links on it. Probably a hoax or a virus or something.

NO! do not give any personal information to anyone but your bank. if in question I would ask for names, phone numbers address, managers names, website address and if no reply or they try to sweet talk you out of the information hang up and contact your bank let them figure it out.

the email that you got is called a 'phishing' email. never, ever reveal details to anyone either via email or telephone. a genuine company will only ask you to confirm your name and address and possibly a password but never anything more personal than that. and to be fair a fraudster could get those details from the phone book anyway (apart from your password that is). if you're unsure then ask them to give you a clue as to your password. the company will not be breaking dpa (data protection act) if they prompt you on your password and that way you can be sure that the caller (or email) is genuine. \nremember, a company who has your bank details etc, already has them so they won't need you to confirm them. you definately DO NOT need to confirm those sort of details for dpa.

Check all your credit cards and your accounts.  Check your credit rating.  Advise your bank about what is happening.  Respond to all these offers by letting them know that there is no such person at this address and that someone is using your address without your permission.

Unfortunately you are probably the one who provided it. Here are some suggestions to avoid providing information for scam artists.\n\nIf you get an email or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply. And don’t click on the link in the message, either. Legitimate companies don’t ask for this information via email. If you are concerned about your account, contact the organization mentioned in the email using a telephone number you know to be genuine, or open a new Internet browser session and type in the company’s correct Web address yourself. In any case, don’t cut and paste the link from the message into your Internet browser — phishers can make links look like they go to one place, but that actually send you to a different site.\n\nUse anti-virus software and a firewall, and keep them up to date. Some phishing emails contain software that can harm your computer or track your activities on the Internet without your knowledge.\n\nAnti-virus software and a firewall can protect you from inadvertently accepting such unwanted files. Anti-virus software scans incoming communications for troublesome files. Look for anti-virus software that recognizes current viruses as well as older ones; that can effectively reverse the damage; and that updates automatically.\n\nA firewall helps make you invisible on the Internet and blocks all communications from unauthorized sources. It’s especially important to run a firewall if you have a broadband connection. Operating systems (like Windows or Linux) or browsers (like Internet Explorer or Netscape) also may offer free software “patches” to close holes in the system that hackers or phishers could exploit.\n\n\nDon’t email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure method of transmitting personal information. If you initiate a transaction and want to provide your personal or financial information through an organization’s website, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a lock icon on the browser’s status bar or a URL for a website that begins “https:” (the “s” stands for “secure”). Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof; some phishers have forged security icons. \nReview credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them to check for unauthorized charges. If your statement is late by more than a couple of days, call your credit card company or bank to confirm your billing address and account balances.\n\n\nBe cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them. These files can contain viruses or other software that can weaken your computer’s security.

probably spam, you should delete it without opening the attachments. Also look out for phishing, the emails that look legit but ask for personal info or credit card info. If in doubt go back to the company themselves instead of answering the email.\n\nRule of thumb: if it's suspicious, don't open the email if possible, don't open the attachments and don't click on any link.

Sounds like a variation of the "Nigerian Scam" I bet they want your bank info? Don't under any circumstances give that info. To test them ask for a certified check to be mailed to you in good faith. They will quickly find someone elst to try to scam. Send a copy of their email to FBI internet fraud, see what they say. But I'll bet a dollar to a donut hole it is a scam.

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.

I would go to the bank and tell them that they are illegally giving out personal information and they need to fix it or you will seek a lawyer for their advice.Or maybe you should use another bank.
