Dear VISA card holder,

A recent review of your transaction history determined that

your card was used at an ATM located in Iraq, but for security

reasons the requested transaction was refused. You need to

complete the VISA Card Holder form. You can do this by

As a general rule, no financial institution will notify you by e-mail about anything other than advertising or letting you know that something on your account needs attention, in which case you should not use any links in the e-mail and manually log onto your account by typing the web address into the browser.

When in doubt, call them on the telephone.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will never contact you by e-mail about your tax return.

There is also a new scam going around where the perp will contact you by telephone, giving convincing information about your address, account number, some transactions, etc. and then ask you for additional private information.

The best practice is to call the financial institution back at a number known to you.

[Lowdark 5613]

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up.

[Guest G***f******]

As a general rule, no financial institution will notify you by e-mail about anything other than advertising

 

Even at that, do NOT click on any links in such an e-mail. Always go to your banks website by typing the address in your browser bar directly.

 

I once got a phishing e-mail that looked like and ad from a Canadian bank, but the links it had were all to a domain name that was not the actual one from the bank. It was slightly off, and the page it took you to was an exact copy of the banks real webpage, but if you were to click their "sign in" button, you would have just handed them your account number and password.

I've had a similar E-mail not too long ago, about a credit card (MC) issued by a financial institution i did not do business with. I've always had a call from my bank when they had to notice me that my debit card was "frozen" due to cloning, and to please go by my nearest Branch to take care of it. Most canadian institution will have a number or e-mail to report fraud, so in case of doubt, call first. I've called to ask what to do and i was told to forward the e-mail to their fraud section, so they could action it.

 

In these cases cited above, you'll notice that the links do not point towards a secure website as it should (should start by https:). so if the full link appears, look for that.

[Guest s******ecan****]

As a general rule, no financial institution will notify you by e-mail about anything other than advertising or letting you know that something on your account needs attention........

 

I can't comment on other financial institutions but I know for a fact that my bank never emails any information (advertising or otherwise). When as has happened on occaision they need to notify me regarding my accounts it is always by letter. I have been told by the Financial Institution that this policy is in place because email is not secure.

Chief of Police

[Gentleman11 10508]

Here is an old one that apparently has good success right here at home according our local Halifax Police Authority.

 

I placed an on on Kijiji last year selling some living room furniture that I wanted to move. I got an email right away from a guy right away who wanted to buy the furniture and to call him at the number he emailed. I did and he said he wanted to buy the furniture for his wife who was moving to Halifax to take an assigment for a year. He said he would send me the money right away and have the furniture picked up within a few days.

 

He apologized for the rush on this and did a good job at sounding confused stating he was working in Ontario and arranging this on the side for his wife who was away on assignment in the State. Anyways, an authentic looking CIBC bank draft arrives by Priority Post for approximately $1,500 more than the agreed upon price for the furniture and a note saying to call him as soon as I get the bank draft.

 

I call him to say it has arrived and that the draft is for too much money. He apologizes profusely over and over explaning that he got my purchase confused with a similar purchase he was making for his wife's (coming to Halifax on "assignment) applicances and requests that I cash it and a "friend" will come by and pick up the difference.

 

I said "no problem, but your friend can't come around until the cheque clears the bank, likely in a week or so". "But the money has already left my account" he says. I said back to him something to the effect its been fun playing with you. His response is not printable here but suffice it to say he was not a happy camper...

Just happened to me. Got an email from Purolator DHL saying they came to deliver my package but I wasn't home, they will be back to deliver.

The attachement was the invoice. Dumb me, I opened it. Nothing happened except spyware. (my anti virus/anti anti spyware didn't pick it up btw) Since I actually was expecting a parcel to arrive, the email didn't seem out of the ordinary.

What a mess, finally ended up reloading the operating system disk (fortunately I don't have alot of files, and the back ups of those are on my work computer)

So anyone who gets an email from Purolator DHL, DELETE IT, if not it'll cause you grief

I received the same email from Purolator - looks and feels official until you try to get to the site to look at the tracking # - which it can't find - then when you try the other link, it asks to run a software - which I did not run - pretty nifty. Glad I did not load it!

This is not an email but some ppl trying to take advantage of a natural disaster to scam those trying to help so watch out before you donate! No wonder why some have become hesitant to help others.

Attn: Please and a good day to you.

 

I have an important information for the owner of this email but first of all, I want to ensure if this email is still valid, I want you to confirm if this email is correct and is being checked by only you so that I will proceed and let you know what information we have for you.

 

I am taking this measure in order not to make any mistake because of the sensitivity of the information i have for you.

 

Awaiting your responds.
