The link when you click it in the email it looks like its taking you to www.usbank.com, it even it says it up top, and the page looks legit, but at the bottom on the page says connection secured, but the encryption icon isnt up on the toolbar, so another clue.
this is the actual link:
http://61.221.243.26/www/verify.html
but if you take off the www/verify.html it is obviously NOT US bank
