This number called my phone and left a text message. Folks, this is a phishing scam! The message starts "Your online Scotia service account has been temporarily suspended for security reasons. . ." and it provides a link to a website instructing you to log in. Many of us can guess what happens then! Since I do not have such a thing as an 'online Scotia' account, I simply deleted the message. I have seen this kind of phishing attempt in many of its various incarnations in my e-mail inbox; this is the first phishing attempt that has been made to my cell number.
