Dear Washington Mutual Bank Client,

To provide our customers the most effective and secure online
access to their accounts, we are continually upgrading our online
services. As we add new features and enhancements to our service,
there are certain browsers versions which will not support these
system upgrades. As many customers already know, Microsoft
Internet Explorer has significant 'holes' or vulnerabilities that virus
creators can easily take advantage of .

In order to further protect your account, we have introduced some
new important security standards and browsers requirements.
Washington Mutual Bank security systems require that you test your browser now
to see if meets the requirements to Washington Mutual Online Banking.

Pleas follow this link in order to verify security update installation.

**Removed Link**

This security update will be effective immediately . In the meantime
some of the Internet Banking services may not be available.

I'm not sure but this seems fishy. I don't even have an account with this bank.
