I received a phony letter today. Obviously a form letter, with Canada Trust at the top. The so-called rep of the bank's name and my name were obviously filled in with a different all caps font. Supposedly some dude with my last name in England died 10 years ago and this guy was claiming he would help me claim his unclaimed estate ($9.2 million US). All he wants is half. :) Anyway, I Googled Canada Trust in Toronto and one of the first items up was a letter from someone else of a different last name who had received the exact same letter. The bank's response was obvious: phishing scam, send us a copy of the letter and don't open the link or respond. Man, I already had plans on how I was going to spend my half. Ha
