The email asked me information the bank should already have and info I was uncomfortable about giving over the Internet. I called the bank. Yes, this was a scam email and the bank lady siad she's had other calls about this issue. DO NOT even open this email. (Ironically, The email address was from Chasebank but had the Citizens Bank letter head.) The bank will never ask for info on the Internet.
Thanks for the heads-up, Tom.
