See, you dont have to say it suspicious , because the rbc bank have sent you my payment confirmation and the money i transfer has been deducted from my account which it can not be reverse in any way rather to be credited to your bank account .

The issue of telling you to make the shipment to west Africa, was that my child has just been sent to Africa for peace-keeping transfer and i want him to receive the item in Africa so that he can be useful for him? please kindly proceed with the shipment and send your shipment proof to the rbc ban email for them to credit your bank account immediately

Thanks for your response, I live here in newry which I work here as a flight attendant but I will like to buy your item and send it as a bithday gift sibling schooling abroad at United State of America, I will like to know the cost of the postage by your pos- malaysia air, fedex , Dhl or surface mail parcel so that I can also add the cost of the postage to your payment. Hope you are a real seller? Waiting to hear back from you.

Dear xxx,

My name is Justin, your banking advisor and I will be pleased to assist you with your inquiry.

I must inform you that this is a fraudulent message. RBC Royal Bank doesn't act as an intermediary for the purchase of products and the sending of the funds for such purchases.

This is a scam where you're contacted as you're selling an item online, from someone pretending to be a Royal Bank client or employee. We don't send such notifications and wouldn't request confidential information through unsecured regular email.

This scam typically involves a request that you send someone the shipping code for an item, which requires you to send the item to them first. With online auctions, payment is always received first and then the item is sent to the purchaser. In some cases, they'll give you an account number, and provide you with a telephone number to call as well. The number often has a very basic menu system set up to provide a balance of the account in question. The account is a fake account that is not actually at RBC Royal Bank.

Please do not respond to the message or send your item that was for sale.

Thanks for contacting us. We'll be happy to help you again if there's anything else you’d like to discuss.

If you prefer, you can call us at 1-800-769-2511.

Sincerely,

Justin L | Banking Advisor - email/chat, RBC Advice Centre, RBC Royal Bank | Royal Bank of Canada
