Just today ( August 8 2019 ) I got this email.
The exact wording if the picture is too small for you is as follows:

What caught my eye is the phrase "temporarily unavailable " which will probably catch your eye too if you depend on your ATM card like most of us do. These guys want to scare you into immediate action so bad that you may not take certain precautions. Precautions like using Google or logging into your account independent of the email you just got.
A quick Google search for that address produces the legitimate email address/ url of BDO ( Banco de Oro)
As you can see , everything legitimate BDO does online has a '.com.ph' domain not a just a ".com". Lastly as a blogger I know that just because something is highlighted , it doesn't mean what you see in the email is the exact link it will go to. For example just because you see https://www.bradpittwasclonedfromedlopez.com it does not mean you will go to that URL. Try it.
Bottom line, the more dire the consequences, the more time you should take to investigate. Google is your friend. I wish BDO had examples of this kind scam online and even shut down the urls ( for example https://www.engineersinstitute.com/BDO-Online-Banking/Redirecting.php?_=1\ ) of these people spoofing.
