If you have received the email messages above, please do not open the attachments or follow the instructions in them. The email messages contain attachments, which are phishing HTML forms that will send your banking username, password, personal and financial information to the cybercriminals behind the scams, if you enter your information on the same forms and submit them.
Remember, never click on a link in an email message to sign or log into your online banking accounts, and always look at your web browser's address bar to ensure that you are on your bank's website and not some other fake or phishing website.
If you have already submitted your information on the fake banking HTML form, please contact your bank and change your password immediately, because with your banking username and password, these scammers will hijack your account.
