If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the log in attempts may have initiated by you.

The log in attempt was made from:

IP address: 89.30.110.211
ISP host : adsl.dd.eston.kr

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend your account.
We ask that you allow at least 48hrs for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend not making any changes to your account in that time.

* Please do not respond to this email as your reply will not be received.

Thank you for your patience as we work together to protect your account.

This is the information I extracted from Regions web site which should be of use to those Regions customers.

E-Mail Fraud, Phishing or Spoofs
Regions will never send an e-mail request asking for our customers to verify or update personal information or passwords by replying to the e-mail or by going to a Web site through a link included within the e-mail. Even if you don’t provide information, by clicking on the link you could expose your operating system to a virus or to software that enables criminals to “eavesdrop” on your keystrokes and capture your passwords and other confidential information. If you believe that you have received or replied to a suspicious e-mail and provided private information about your Regions account, please contact us immediately at 1-800-REGIONS or via email at phishing@regions.com .
