Quite easy to tell that this is a scam: 1) I don't have an RBC Account 2) The website URL is not the same as the real one. 3) Some links on the website are not clickable(i.e. they show as images) 4) You can type anything into the blank fields(yes, even vulgarities) and the login will still bring you to the account verification page.

I received this email too. My question is, is the problem with the link or the email? I opened the email but didn't click on the link. Am I safe?

Hey, I think I am having the same problem now... Did you see an asap911.com website 404 not found when you opened that link? How did you clear that virus?

If you opened the attachment or clicked on any links you should scan for viruses and other threats. If you don't have an antivirus program, download Avast's free Antivirus software.

hi, I received a notice that my account was suspended, I don't understand this because I don't have any accounts with your institution.
