This looks exactly like what I believe is a scam. I got a similar notice from BNY Mellon in September saying they had lost a bunch of records and were offering a one year protection if you call and give them the code in the letter and then they want your SS number. I do not trust this at all. It is probably not illegal, but they want to scare us into calling and giving personal information. I am not going to respond to this.
