USAA customers are asked to delete fake "Your Account USAA Will Be Limited" email messages like the one below. The fake emails are phishing scams that are being sent by cybercriminals to trick their potential victims into clicking on a link within the same email messages, which go to phishing websites that steal USAA account credentials (usernames and passwords).
USAA customers who have already been tricked by the phishing email messages are asked to change their passwords and contact USAA immediately before their money is stolen, online accounts hijacked and used fraudulently by cybercriminals.
