No bank uses free email addresses.
No bank will email someone who is not their customer asking them to provide information or pay a fee/refund.
No bank will ask you to pay money to a random bank account or using Western Union or gift cards.

If you are buying or selling something online, the bank has no involvement in that transaction and if they are not your bank, they will not have your email address, so there is no way they would be emailing you.

We want you to understand that here at Scotia Bank our top most concern is to serve you better in terms of security.

The least amount that can be approved starts from RM 588.00. We are sending you this message because we have already deducted an additional RM 500.00 from your buyer's account (Automatically) so that it could reach the limit of transfer.

Therefore, we urge you to REFUND the balance of RM 500.00 making an instant transfer to our agent account via bank transfer or ATM machine CDM and send us the copy of the transfer confirmation/receipt for verification so that the total sum of RM 588.00 would be unlocked and credited into your account immediately.
