    I've had this account for 20 years.
    It seems very strange, to get this out of the blue...

    I think it may be a phishing scam and will probably just delete it.


    Also I use my BOI statement for proof of address. I dont have any bills in my name where I live, so I cannot provide them any further proof of address.
