That sounds like a scam to me. They’re offering you a debit card. A debit card has to be funded by you, either by money order, bank check, or a link to your bank account. Then the likely scammer will abscond with your money. Be cautious when getting financial related messages, even from a company you already deal with. Always look at the email address of the sender and if it doesn't look proper, be suspicious. Don't send anyone that sends a suspect email, your hard earned money or any bank account or credit card numbers.

Are you sure this email is even real? It sounds like a scam email to me.

First question is if there is an actual account with Capital One and if the current card is close to expiring. Since the bank was called I suspect this to be the case. Still, it is odd that there was an email involved as I've never gotten such when a card was being replaced.

Indeed, it is a verified e-mail. According to Google Mail: "The sender of this email has verified that they own bankcommunication.capitalone.com and the logo in the profile image."

I have this account still. I receive the bank statements every week, but since I do not have a US phone number anymore and since I do not live in the US any longer, I can not access the account. It is always that damn two-factor authentication.

My current debit card has been expired since last year, or this current year, if I am not mistaken. Several months ago, a transaction with that old card has occurred, but since the card had expired, this did not succeed (the second time I had to call them, they told me that).

I find this absurd.

So a little glimpse into my life tonight. It's now 10:14 pm ET.
About 7:30 tonight my wife went to pick up her 32 yr Old son. At 8 pm she called and told me to take the other car and leave as her son was on yet another meth binge and wants to kill me. Awesome, he has a gun, bow and knives in his room. I went to Walmart and called the police. They went over to my house and talked to my wife who lied as usual to protect this POS drug addict. The police advised me to stay somewhere else tonight. Where? I'm not from here and the only people I know here are the 4 other people that live in this house. I'm not letting a drug addict run my life so I'm going back home. I'm going to the court house first thing Monday morning and getting an order of protection. If I'm s still alive. He's already assaulted me once 3 years ago and I should have put his hillbilly ass in jail then. So yeah, what a nice relaxing Saturday night.

Need to get that guy together with Juicebox's "friend" and let them fight it out. Be smart and live to fight another day.
