You should wait and see how first...

Of course it is a scam! Even the English used in the so called banks' email is bad:

Wah lao, friend. This post is a year old. Even you reply the post, not sure is TS still around to see it.

Yalor... still go and korek2 the old post.

Bank manager reply mail ..1000 dollar deal . It scam .

Although the email was sound like scam, but what I know is, there is such things as below exist when doing online commercial transaction.

Buyer want to buy item from Seller. But both of them are afraid of scam, so bank is the middlemen who can act as guarantor.

Buyer have to make payment to the bank first, and bank will hold the payment. Bank will informed Seller that, the payment was safe, and now is waiting the Seller to send items, after the items was sent or reach (I not sure how the bank prove the seller has sent it, but there is a way). After confirm, then the bank will proceed the payment to Buyer.

I don't mean the email is true or fake, but the best way is actually call the official bank number to confirm it, sometimes the email may be TRUE as it may written by the PA from the manager.

it's kinda obvious, right? RIGHT? or is your head up in your ass?



you wanna know why scammers still exist?

because of people like you guys. congratulations.

Please need response asap.

without a doubt, this is a scam as well

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
6880 Financial Drive, Tower 2, 4th Floor, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 7Y5 | www.rbcroyalbank.com
