I'm assuming this is a scam?

[Rebuilding69]

I apologize if this isn't in the right place.

I received an email from Santander Bank (securityalerts@santanderbank.com) on Nov 19, 2014.

The body of the email was:

Dear Customer,

Due to concerns, for the safety and integrity of the Santander Online Banking we have issued this
warning message.

It has come to our attention that your Santander Online Banking information needs to be updated as
part of our continuing commitment to protect your account for year 2014 and to reduce the instance

The www,santander,com link actually pointed to www,ajhsjournal,or,ke/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/index,htm

Note: I replaced the periods with commas to keep the post from displaying clickable links.

That doesn't sound like a link a normal bank would use, does it? Does anyone know if this is legit or not? I don't know that I have any cards from santander bank...I have some older cards from First Premier I still have open and a closed card from First Progress, but I don't know if either of them go through santander somehow.

I don't go clicking on links I don't know about, especially when they point to a place completely different from whats listed, so what do you all think? If it is a scam, who do I report it to?

Thanks in advance.

I think it's quite obvious.

I agree that it is definitely a "phishing" email.

You did well by not clicking any links. Delete it immediately.

There are so many scams out there now. I continously get one from "FedEx" every week in my junk mail letting me know that there is an issue with a package that's being delivered to me. SMH

Could the package be from St Claus?

I would suggest sending a copy to the bank.  They clearly have an interest in pursuing such scams that are using their name......

Good point. IME there is a place on websites to report suspicious emails.

Heh, I also get this. Its so obvious thats it a scam.....are the scammers even trying anymore? LOL

It's definitely a scam. They're using a wordpress site, instead of a legitimate bank owned domain.

....and they keep happening because it works.

Someone compromised our email database at work, and we ALL got 80-100 emails asking us to "review the documen" with a clickable link.

104 stupid people that I work with clicked the flippin link.  IT will spend all weekend trying to undo the damage.
