FDIC Insurance Scam

I just got an email from the FDIC that claims the Homeland Security has a flag on my account, and wants me to provide identifying information on an internet form. I heard this might be a scam. Do you think it is?


Do we ever!

This is a scam that's designed to get you to give up personal information that can be used to steal your identity! No government agency will ever send you an email asking for that kind of information.
