The fake Stripe email below, which claims payouts to the recipients' bank account have been temporarily disabled, is a scam. The fake email is being sent by online scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into clicking on the link in it. The link goes to a fak Stripe website that will ask visitors to sign-in. But, any attempt to sign-in will send the visitors' credentials to the online scammers. The scammers will then use the stolen credentials to gain access to their potential victims' accounts and use them fraudulently.

Bank Account Verification Failed
The bank account used on your Stripe account recently rejected a payment sent to your account.
Since all future payments are likely to fail as well we have temporarily disabled payouts to your bank account until you provide the correct previous account details.

Alternatively, if you've fixed the issue there is no payout to your current USD bank details,
No further USD payouts will be sent until you update your bank account to another active checking account or instruct us to retry to the same details from your dashboard.
