Royal Bank of Canada Email Scam
There is a brand new email scam hitting in-boxes across Canada targeting clients of the Royal Bank of Canada.

TD Canada Trust Email Scam

My Client Died – Help Me Take His Money Scam
Here we have yet another clumsy attempt at conning people into falling for an online scam. As with almost all of these so-called lawyers contacting you out of the blue, this one too leaves an obvious trail behind.
