This is definitely a scam they would never ask all those questions. Don't don't don't answer, download any attachments or anything else with personally calling your server to find out about this.

Bad Bad Bad, why do people do this? When I've gotten this sort of stuff, I've forwarded it to the appropriate site, pay pal or whoever, so they know someone is pulling a scam. They need to be aware somthing is going on.

Scam! They never send emails, first clue is "Dear Acct holder", they would know your name, once you give them your info they steal your identity........also, look for misspelled words and errors and different language. I got a few last month and sent it in for phishing scam.
