Reply:I haven't got any from someone who claims to be Wachovia, but I have from other banking firms, but these are scams. They send out thousands of these hoping a few will have Wachovia accounts, and hope some of them fall for the scam.





Strictly a hit and miss thing for the scammers.

Please anyone who gets a email they are not to answer them. call you support companies to get there policy on sending email and getting info for you. most of the time they would tell you they don't. but please call to make sure.

I worked at Citibank for 6 months, and we got calls all the time from people who got these types of e-mails - some having accounts, other's not.





The "phishers" send out a 100 million e-mails, using some large financial institution as the "hook," and hope there are enough stupid people with accounts at that institution to make it profitable for them.
