Thank you for your assistance. 

Warm greetings,

I need to actualise my data? Come on. How many people click on such a link? And then give up their personal info?
This is called Phishing and exposes you and your agency to fraud. It is extraordinary how many people fall for it
What protections do you have in place to protect yourself and your workplace? You need at least some policy and some training.  In our busy world, so many agencies dont provide either and expose themselves to money disappearing.
