I am getting emails that look suspicious too me, telling me that my account will be closed unless I provide information that I believe would support identity theft. I do not want my account to close, but I do not want to fall prey to a fraud scheme either. Is this email valid? If so, is there I way I can correct the problem without simply replying to an unknown sender? The text of the latest one is below:
