Phishing emails First Trust AIB Funding Group Unit

[AlanJones]

I received this email . I knew very quickly that it was phishing and fraudulent. I did not client on the link. I copy and paste the link in virus search and it showed no virus. I click reply to the phishing email. The email showed this email "[email protected]" in which is different from the email sent . This is a MAJOR RED FLAG!

So I contact the legit bank First Trust AIB. Their fraud alert time responded back less than a day. Please review thieves message and the legit First Trust AIB response to the thieves message.
