Just a quick heads up for you guys on these type of suspect activities... Almost no financial institution will communicate with you in this way. And pretty much all legitimate financial institutions will warn you or have warned you about clicking on links in your email in order to access your accounts you have set up with said institutions.
In other words guys... never click on any link in your email to access your financial records, whether that be Paypal, your bank, credit union, gov't like the VA, or even stuff like your medical etc...
The safe ( and most institutions recommend this to their clients... you just need to check their help files on the subject matter...) is to always type in your financial institution's url in the address box at the top of your browser and hit enter in order to access the log in page for your said institution.
Listen, this only takes a few seconds and it is the way to go. If you want to speed things up then you can simply type in your financial's intitution's log in page on each first ocassion and then 'bookmark' it or add it to your 'favorites' (depending on which browser you use...) And when you need to go back there you can access it from your bookmark or favorites and therefore not have to type it in each time.
Finally, never click on a link in you email unless you know and either trust the source. This is very important!! Just don't do it!
