Interac Canada has been hacked or what
I used to have a credit card from Scotiabank about 10 years ago. So an email like this was surprising. The email is coming from the cash machines provider/ interac.ca and the content of the email is nothing but spam and phishing attempts.

I always check if there are spelling and grammar mistakes? – Sometimes the email is just poorly written. Other times the mistakes are intentional to get through spam filters.

Criminals want you to act quickly without thinking. That’s why phishing scams often use language that makes you feel worried or afraid. For instance some scams may: Threaten to close or suspend your accounts if you don’t provide or verify personal information. Claim your account has been compromised or that there has been fraudulent activity on your account. They’ll ask you to enter or confirm your account information. Tell you that there are unauthorized charges on your account and ask for your account information. Claim that your bank has lost important security information and request that you update your information online.
