On Thursday, March 29, I received an email telling me that my BMO account has been suspended unless I answered a series of questions. I did not respond.

On Friday, March 30, I called my bank and was told these emails are a way of identity theft to get personal banking information.

I also received one such email from RBC -and I don't even have an account with them.

The innocent public - especially us old folk (I'm 72) - should be warned not to respond to these emails.
