They get to you by email – your only protection is to be super vigilant.
RE: BMO Account Report
This sounded pretty official:
On October 22, 2018 we received a letter from FCIB, MBA.
We included in this email copies of the quarterly statements issued for the period June 21, 2018 to September 2018. The document describes notes placed in a locked pension protected by the Canada Pension Standart Act 1985, for more information please check documents included in this email.
Sincerely, Tim Trenblay
Note: FCIA – is a designation -Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries; MBA usually stands for Master of Business Administration.
The spelling error was an early clue. The attached file was an Excel file, why would a bank send me one of those?
The address the email came from was the biggest clue: BMO Financial Group noreply@bmodoc.com
Follow the rule: If in doubt – don’t.
