That sounds like a scam. No bank or company would send you an e-mail asking for your personal info. to verify anything.

You don't have an account with them? DO NOT give any info, and let Heritage know that you got this email. I don't know all of your details, but this sounds like the Chase scam from last Christmas.

This was actually on the local news here last week, they said there is an increase of these e-mails and phone calls around the holidays. They will get your info. and charge up that card or bleed your bank account dry.

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. has provided neighborhood banking to the people of Western Kentucky for more than 125 years. In 2004, the company celebrated this landmark milestone with a year-long celebration culminating with a prize-drawing for a new PT Cruiser. In every market and in every community Heritage Bank serves, the corporation's century-long philosophy of being a good neighbor is evidenced not only by the company's commitment to the excellent financial products but also by its contributions to the people and the organizations of each region.

I get these the same e-mails in reference of Bank America (which I don't have a account with) Wachovia etc..My bank and the others above which I called to let them know about this, said they do not ask for personal information regarding your account via e-mail or phone, and not to give any information out even if you do have an account with the Company.
