If you do receive an e-mail that asks you to confirm credit card or financial transactions, provide or confirm sensitive information (such as passwords or sign-on IDs), or personal information (such as social security numbers, credit card numbers or personal bank account numbers), please assume that the request is fraudulent.

Some e-mails, links or Web sites may even include The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation logo or resemble existing Bank of New York Mellon Corporation Internet sign-on pages. Despite the graphics, you should continue to assume that the request is fraudulent because The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation will never contact you by e-mail to request or confirm personal or sensitive account information.

If you receive e-mail requests to visit a Web site or to submit personal information, consider them fraudulent and notify The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation here. We strongly recommend that you do not visit the site, submit your personal information via the site or e-mail, or respond in any way.
