Even with no specific account number details, I don't like it when the

I can understand that. When I first started getting those I worried
a bit about that as well but then I figured most of those automatic
messages refer to things that pretty much everyone pays so knowing
you have a phone or electric bill isn't a big deal.
I suppose money transfers give a little more 'personal' info, but
really only show you can lay your hands on usually lesser amounts
of money if you had to.
Mostly those notices are for e-Transfers and they are limited to
$2000 or $3000 so the numbers are not too big.
I don't get eMail about things I do at the bank. Those are
verified while I'm on the banking site doing it. It's just
the e-Transfers where they want to warn you it's been sent
and let you know when it's been accepted.
It helps if you know about the scams floating around too and, if
someone tried to get money from you, you'd know it was a scam.
