It reads like the e-mails I have been getting lately for my Comcast account. It also prompts me to update my personal billing informantion. What gives away to me was it asked for my SSN and the 3-digit code on the back of my debit card.

The scarey thing is that they send millions of these emails out to people. Most figure out the scam, but there are those very few........

The tip is...REAL sites NEVER ask you to confirm your personal info, either via e-mail or phone. And the attached links are always bogus.
Phishing does occur often..I usually get bogus PayPal e-mails. They are getting better and more convincing at their game though...

I get one of those bank emails a week. If the bank had a problem with my account, I wouldn't be notified through email. If it looks odd, simply delete it.
