Did anyone get a email from TurboTax asking about stimulus?

Update my bank information after my stimulus payment was returned.

Thank you! I was worried I shouldn’t have done it after the fact

I too was worried and totally regretted filling out my bank info like an idiot. I was like, "Holy S***! Did I just fall for a phishing scam?"  I promptly called TurboTax (2 times) and checked with them about this. They specifically didn't know, but said that something like that was happening.  I also saw this link,

However, it could be a very good phishing scam. My bank account hasn't been cleared out yet, and hopefully it won't, but I wish TurboTax would inform their employees this is out there so they could reassure those of us who call that this is legitimate.
