I got 8 of those things in a row on one dat last week. If you study the headers, you'll see they originated at an email address (probably spoofed) in the fcua.gov domain. These are the same crooks that are sending out the emails about credit union account problems that need to be addressed immediately by clicking on a link and entering sensitive information.
