No bank will ever send a fraud alert via email.

they will never ask you to click on a link, ask for personal information of any kind. those types of phishing exercises are pretty easy to defeat. Todd has a much tougher job.

Maybe banks don't do it directly but I got an email from my CC bank claiming a fraud alert and asking me to contact them immediately. There probably wasn't a link to click on but who would actually click on one nowadays? I called my CC bank and it was a legit email.
