The FBI is warning you about a new scam out there to steal your money.
It's a scheme that uses spam e-mails that appear to be from government agencies like the Federal Reserve or the FDIC.
When you open the e-mail, you're told there's a problem with your bank account and to fix it, you must click on a link.
The link then sends you to a phony website that steals your banking information. Feds say they will never ask for sensitive information like that through e-mail.
