How did they get your e-mail address ?
I usually get a card in my mailbox or a sticker thingy thing on my mailbox depending which company.
It has to be a scam.


You can optionally get email updates from some companies. I know a lot of scams try to impersonate legitimate communications to make it more likely for you to fall for it.

Scam email using rbc is floating around again. My computer picked it up as spam. Understand a lot of computers were hit that were using different anti-virus softwares and there is nothing anyone can really do. Maddening.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?
