The e-mail says that deposit insurance has been suspended on the recipient's bank account because of violations of the federal Patriot Act. It asks for personal information so the suspension can be lifted. The FDIC said it is not sending out any such e-mails and asks anyone who has received one to report it to alert@fdic.gov.
