Dear  customer,

We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your  Internet Banking account has been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Protecting the security of your account and of the Desjardins network is our primary concern. Therefore, as a preventative measure, your profile has been locked due to inactivity or because of too many failed login attempts.

To restore your account access, please take the following steps to ensure that your account has not been compromised:

1. You can unlock your profile online with your ATM/Visa Check Card number and PIN by following the link bellow.

To get started, please click the link below:



 
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your assistance in helping us maintain the integrity of the entire Desjardins system. Thank you for attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

The Desjardins Team

YES!!!! YES!!! YES!!!

If there is a link provided in an email for you to log in to your account it is spam!
If you hover your cursor over the link, DON"T click on it, but hover and look at the bottom of your screen where it tells you the web address that link points to see if you recognize it as the Desjardins link. Likely it will point to some foreign address if you look at the characters towards the end of the address.

You can confirm the legitimacy of this email by typing in the address of the Desjardins company if you have an account with them and logging in from their official website. DO NOT USE THE LINK IN YOUR EMAIL! There will be some sort of message on your account if there is any trouble with it.

NEVER give your pin out by email. The bank will NEVER ask you for it. Even if you got an email like that from your own bank, they would know your name and again never ask you to verifiy your pin in an email.

Good thing you didn't do anything. Amazing these people still try.
