It's most definitely a scam e-mail. It is just one amongst thousands. They try it making believe that they are from e-bay, paypal, and other various financial institutions. ANd they get the logos down pat! But never reply to an e-mail repquestiong personal information. If you happen to belong to a bank or a credit card company and you recieve an e-mail requesting personal information, alwys call them with a phone number that you already have from a statement or visit the branch instead.

The e-mails that I love the most are the ones that are supposed to be from a foreign diplomat from Nigeria or foreign investor from South Africa which tells you that they have $500,000 sitting in their bank overseas that they need to disperse as a gift and will wire transfer it over to your bank if you provide your banking information. There was an article in my local newspaper this past week about these exact e-mails and you wouldn't believe how many people actually fall for this scam!

You can forward the e-mail to the financial institution that they claim they are from along with an explanation of how you recieved it and what they are asking for.
