SouthTrust Bank Phishing
Below is a letter I recieved that looks like it is from SouthTrust Bank (even though I do not have an account with them) asking me to reset my personal information. Actually, the letter is just another scam to get you to enter your personal information and is NOT from SourthTrust bank!
