Is this ING email real or a scam?
What a real ING email looks like
ING emails come from @ing.nl and never ask you to confirm your account, PIN or codes, or to log in through a link. Real notices send you to the app or to ing.nl, which you open yourself.

What does a real ING email address look like?
It comes from an @ing.nl address. Scammers fake the display name, so always check the actual address, and watch for look-alike domains (extra words, a different ending, or a misspelling).
I clicked the link or paid. What should I do?
Contact your bank immediately to block or reverse the payment, change any password you entered, and turn on two-factor authentication. Then report it.
How do I report a fake ING email?
Forward it to ING's official abuse or phishing address and report it to your email provider. You can also forward it to us to confirm whether it's a scam.
