Downey Savings
This is a phishing attempt. They want you to provide your log in and password. Then they can get into your account and steal all ofyour money.
The one interesting thing about this is that they are pretending it is a survey, even offering to pay money into your account if you take the survey.
Of course, as part of the survey they ask you to enter your account details.
You should never click through links in emails to your accounts. Always close the email first, then open a new browser window and go direct to what you know is the correct site.
