    LOL I don't even have an RBC account. I work at CIBC! Does anyone know where I should forward this? The police or the actual bank?

    On RBC's homepage, bottom right: report a fraudulent email

    I do bank with RBC and I have gotten emails such as those and have always reported them.
    I have also gotten those fraud emails representing Scotia and TD banks. Many look convincing when you click on their link, redirecting you to THEIR site that looks like your banks front page, trying to fool you to enter in your confidential info.

    I probably got this in my email this morning too but I don't deal with RBC so it got deleted before opening.

    I don't even bother reporting those types of e-mails anymore...they just keep popping up anyway, so best to just delete them without even opening the e-mail itself...just check the box and delete, simple as that. There are waaaayyyyyy too many e-mail scams, and to report them all would just take too much time and effort, so I just don't even care anymore...IMHO...

    I work at a bank and know for a fact that they will never email you telling you your accounts has been frauded or that you have to verify something.... and if in doubt, call the bank!

    LOL I work in a bank, so I knew right away it had to be fradulant (even if I had had an RBC account) but I've never gotten one before so wasn't sure how to report it. Just forwarded it [email protected] and that was that!
