Just hit spam.

Google the subject, Nerd Wallet, and look for contact information to ask directly. Never on phone or email.

I know they’re a “legit” outfit, but it could always be someone pretending to be an employee. 🤬

if you don’t have an account. They want your info. I would Report it as spam or junk

I get emails all the time about someone logging into an account with some outfit I've never dealt with.

Look at the email address if it doesn't say @nerdwallet report it to your email provider as phishing.

I got one yesterday claiming I had had $6 million deposited it an account at the U.N. for "recovery funds". All they needed was every bit of personal information they could get including a bank account #. Clearly this was a scam from the first sentence and the email was "@hotmail.com" Yeah, I'm sure the U.N. uses hotmail.

I've also been inundated with scam emails supposedly from Geek Squad, not of them have a Geek Squad email.

The only thing is, they had my IP address-- should I be concerned?

someone more savvy in computer security should answer that.

But it doesn't mean you are where it says, because many people use VPNs which will say they live here, but they may live somewhere else in the world.


I just wouldn't respond to anything scammers ask for, disguised as banks, credit cards...just always go to the direct website, no links, and call if you think it might be really your bank reaching out.

Thank you
😊

Everyone knows your IP. That doesn't mean they know ailsagirl owns it, but everywhere you've been to 'out there' , knows that address. And you expect a LOT of outfits know the email that goes with that IP.

🤨😡
