Don't fall for this new banking scam
Fox News
We recently received this email with important information about banking scams from Jeff from Connecticut. Here's what he had to say.
Dear Kurt,
I am reaching out to you regarding a suspicious banking email that I received recently. I followed your previous advice and refrained from clicking on any links in the email. I also checked the email address and found that it was not a Wells Fargo address. However, the email looked exactly like it came from my bank, which is quite concerning. I believe it is crucial to inform your readers about this banking email scam so they can avoid falling victim to it.
Best regards,
Jeff
