I got this handy email today, under the subject heading "Change of Billing", informing me of the following:
Dear RBC Customer,It then gives me the handy web address: http://www.royalbank.com/index.htm

There's only one problem. I'm not an RBC customer. This turns out to be a phishing site, and clicking on the web address actually sends you to http://justgreeks.com/images/.update/.support/.login/RBC//
I (hopefully) don't have to tell you what this means. Clicking this just surrenders every penny from your RBC account.

It's amazing how many people will fall for this type of scam. The phishers will send out mass emails to random blocks of domain names and even if only a tiny fraction respond they've made their money.
