If you receive this or a similar message, please delete it and notify the bank immediately.

Privacy and Security Tips
- Protect yourself from online threats:
- Always use a personal firewall.
- Keep your system patched and current with Automatic Updates.
- Use reputable Anti-Virus software and keep it current.
- Protect yourself from e-mail threats:
- Never click on links or open attachments in unsolicited or unexpected e-mail messages.
- Just because an e-mail appears to be from someone you know, doesn't guarantee that it is.
- Messages claiming you've won something are almost always scams. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Messages claiming a problem with a service and asking you to verify or provide personal information to resolve the issue are almost always scams. Most reputable companies will never solicit confidential information via e-mail.
