so what site did the url really go to? You should be able to right click on it and check the properties. You've got to love the internet, it's a scam a minute.

I stopped banking with Wells Fargo 2 years ago because they were a bunch of retards. Closed my account and I still get a statment every month to let me know that my checking account has a starting balance of $0.00, and ending balance of $0.00 and an average daily balance of $0.00. Glad they are on top of things over there. I've called them about it and they said there is nothing they can do to stop the statements from coming without me going down to the branch and spending some time to investigate why I am still getting statements. Oh well, they can keep sending them to me because I'm not wasting my time to tell them how to run their bank. ;) :D

This is what's commonly known as a "phishing" scam. It's very common with users of Ebay and other sites where you have to submit either a credit card or Bank account info to be "verified". The last one I heard of asked the user for checking account number, bank routing number(?), cedit card number and even the PIN NUMBER for the card. Report any such fake emails to the company they claim to be immediately. Of course, since Wells Fargo has the worst customer service by a mile(in several surveys)it's unlikely they'll do anything.
