This bank scam is pretty raw and direct.
The message looks pretty official but the fact is that Scotia bank does not send emails like this.
If you are a Scotia Bank customer and bank on line you will see the following message. They don’t do what the email at the top of this story does.
How do you know the message is not from the bank – look at the address of the people it came from. The sender of this message has created and used a name that looks like it could be from Scotia Bank –
ScotiaBank <Secure.eMail@scotiabanksecure.com
But it isn’t – they have included the word secure to lull you into thinking it is real. Many Scotia customers might get lured in by this.
Pay careful attention to the address an email came from – and if in doubt – don’t!
Great job reporting all of these instances, these people should be thrown in jail for life as they are intent on ruining innocent peoples lives.
Thank you Burlington Gazette for keep us up to sate with the latest scams.
Spelling mistakes and sloppy grammar are good clues as well.
