This sort of thing is almost always a phishing attempt and usually a bad one. More often than not the spelling and grammar are horrible. And when the e-mail starts out with "Dear Customer" or "Dear Client" or some such, that's almost always a dead giveaway. The businesses that may contact you by email will almost certainly have your name and will use it in the greeting. And almost no reputable business *does* business this way anyway.


But as always, if you have any question about the legitimacy of such e-mails, never click the links. Go to the supposed sender's website by *directly* typing it in (not using links), or pick up the phone and call them.
