Weird Email from My Bank Asking for Personal Info – Scam or Legit?

Featured Replies

Posted

I just got an email that looks like it’s from my bank saying there’s been suspicious activity on my account. It asks me to click a link and verify some personal details to secure my account. The email looks pretty legit at first glance – it has the bank’s logo and everything.

I didn’t click the link right away and tried to log into my bank account through the official app instead. Everything seemed fine there, no alerts or messages. I’m worried this could be a phishing attempt, but the email address matched what I thought was the bank’s domain. I’m not sure if it’s a really convincing scam or if my bank is trying a new security step.

Has anyone else gotten similar emails? How do you tell for sure if it’s a scam without risking your info? Also, what’s the best way to report these suspicious emails to your bank? Any tips to stay safe would be awesome.
