With this fake failure note, the scammers weren't trying very hard

This message below didn't come from American Express. Rather, it originated at an IP address that's located near Fort Worth, Texas. The mail server gave its domain names as mbicdoftbobvezp.biz, which is fraudulent.

The PDF file that the site is trying to get you to download is actually a redirect link to http://nacha-ach.org/, which is a malware/phishing website. (The real NACHA website is nacha.org.) You can read more about this at http://www.nacha.org/news/newsDetail.cfm/RecentBusinessNewsID/236

Don't click on links in strange messages; instead, delete them immediately.
