Someone has been sending out bogus e-mails on the merger so if you are a Wachovia or South Trust customer, beware. A friend of mine e-mailed me this, she copied it directly from the Wachovia home page. :)

NO MERGER COMMUNICATIONS VIA EMAIL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wachovia and SouthTrust have become aware of fraudulent emails designed to capitalize on our merger activities.

If you are a SouthTrust customer, please note that all communications about the conversion of your Online Services to Wachovia will be sent to you by U.S. mail or SouthTrust internal Bank Messages. We will not send any conversion communications by email during the merger.

If you do receive email about the Online Services conversion that appears to be from Wachovia or SouthTrust, do not reply or click on any links, do not change the email in any way, forward the email to [email protected], and then delete it. Email regarding the merger is not authorized by Wachovia or SouthTrust.

If you have already responded to one of these emails and provided personal information about a Wachovia or SouthTrust account, or you suspect fraudulent activity related to your Wachovia or SouthTrust account, please contact Loss Management immediately. For Wachovia accounts, call (888) 647-3648. For SouthTrust accounts, call (800) 582-1137, Option 2.
