    Scams abound, we must have our antenna up all the  time. 

    Few days ago I was for the first time ever in a US Bank Branch
    negotiating a check for my grandson. Neither of us are a US Bank
    customer, only the check sender was. 

    Today I received a message from <edit>email removed</edit> it asked
    me for information on my account. I called the bank and asked for
    their fraud branch to report it. This definitely was a "Phishing"
    expedition. My concern is my being at a branch office and this scam
    are suspicious to me. 

    I did forward the message to US Bank, the FTC and Cox Spam Center.
    The lady at the fraud section told me many are losing lots of money
    with these official looking messages. 

Sad but true.
Terrie
