USAA Cardholder Form Scam
I received a scam email this morning purporting to be from USAA with Important Instructions for me as a USAA Cardholder. I’m not a USAA cardholder, so these important in structs aren’t really important to me!
However, if you are a USAA cardholder, here is a copy of the email - IT IS BOGUS - DO NOT SEND THESE SCAMTWATS ANY OF YOUR USAA CARD DETAILS!
Subject: important instructions
From : USAAWebServices@customermails.usaa.com
To: USAAWebServices@customermails.usaa.com
Email Body:

So, to repeat, if you are a USAA Cardholder and you receive the “Important instructions for USAA card holder” emails, simply delete it from your machine. It’s a scam to try and steal your personal details.
Update
USAA: online form released
The same USAA form email is going out with the subject line USAA:online form released and other than the Cardholder form ID, (which may be random anyway), which was Cardholder Form ID USCHF9306772136, in my case, the email is identical to the one above.
If you receive the email above, or a similar email, drop us a quick comment to let us know any variations that are doing the rounds. Thanks, Be well.

Hello,
I received the same think just a couple of days after I contacted the “US Border and Customs protection” for the “Electronic System for Travel Authorization” prodecure.
For me this spam email was really confusing and worrying…because I needed the papers to be in order to get in the USA. But as we know never give details via email!!
