This is not legitimate. The Bank of Canada is not a retail bank.

I have no idea what Rene posted. In my opinion, stay far away as much as possible from this information and ignore it.
It looks fishy and suspicious. I'm surprised it stayed on this forum this long. Be careful, everyone!

I support your decision, Peter. I thought twice before responding. I think rene is probably legit, if hard to follow, but the email he received is not.
As a precaution, I suggest that people refrain from responding to him personally, as he has provided an email address.

Peter, I think that suspicious posts should have a warning of some sort to forum readers but I personally don't touch anything I don't understand.
This is the best way to stay out of trouble. Too bad there is no way to track this information if it is legitimate.
Peter, leaving it may help someone so that is a good reason to leave this for a limited period of time. Anyone reading Rene's post, don't go near it, it is not worth it.
Thanks again, Peter for looking into this.

I think this is what René is probably trying to say:
Hi. My name is René. I had to register on this site to post this question.
I sell cellphones on a website called free market. I had advertised a Samsung Galaxy S4 there. A man contacted me. What caught my attention was he offered a thousand Mexican pesoes more than my asking price!
I'm from Mexico. The guy gave me the US address of his wife to ship the phone to. He told me that he can have his bank send payment for the phone to a bank account of my choice.
I received an e-mail from his bank, DUNDEE bANK OF CANADA, saying that the money had been deposited in my account. However, to make the money visible in my account, I need to send the tracking number of shipment of cellular phone. His bank sent the e-mail to show that the money was mine. That gives me some confidence. It would not be not good to ship the phone without being paid.
However, it feels like a swindle as the bank, the following e-mail is from, is not my bank. I'm not sure if the e-mail is real or fake. I appreciate your help please , thanks.
The e-mail from the Dundee Bank of Canada is likely fake. A real bank wouldn't leave out parts of their actual name. As well, a real bank would not be operating from a @yahoo.com, @gmail.com, or a @usa.com e-mail address.
If one doesn't see the money in one's bank account, then it's not there. Scammers have tried the same thing with PayPal. They will agree to buy something and pay using PayPal. They will then send a fake PayPal confirmation e-mail to the seller to make it look like funds were deposited to your PayPal account.
PayPal's advice is to always log into your account and see if the supposed deposit shows up there. If it doesn't, then the confirmation e-mail is a fake.

I think it is a hoax! I could tell you more if I could read Spanish. Try googling the phone number in the first posting +13148281597
It is odd that Rene has no follow up?

I googled the address 118 North Ave, Plainsfield, NJ and found this from ZoomInfo: Shippyme (Company Profile):
Shippyme
1118 North Ave
Plainfield, New Jersey 07062
United States
...
Company Description: Ship to Nigeria by Air and Sea - From the comfort of your home. Full online booking, payment, shipment management and tracking! 5 - 10 days delivery with free U.S.A address.
Shippyme seems to offer Nigerians a US shipping address that online purchases can be shipped to, to get around no-shipment policies to Nigeria. The company then forwards the received merchandise to Nigeria.
That "Suite 1-128X" in the address René was asked to ship is likely not the number of an actual suite in a apartment complex. Instead, it is probably the customer ID of the recipient in Nigeria.

The Nigerian link strongly suggests this is part of the widespread Nigerian banking hoax. It is well known to the RCMP, who are always interested in getting more information, at least they were last time I heard, especially if it may involve fraudulent representation of Canadian institutions.
If anyone is interested, the novel entitled 419, by Will Ferguson, which won the Giller prize a few years ago, revolves around this scam. I happen to be in the middle of reading it at the moment.

Eso es muy mal.

The main problem is in my opinion is those that are prosecuted with fraud and other scams bilking many people out of their life savings or even big portions of it are getting away or are getting light sentences in Canada.
The best way to defend against this is if it looks like easy money then stay away. There is no quick way to get rich or make a large sum of money. This forum is important in this regard.

If there is still any question, let me assure you 100% that this is a scam. Do not send the phone - unless you want to donate it for free to a scammer.
Also, do not log in to your bank account from the email. Instead, delete the email, close the browser, then re-open your browser and log in to your bank account the way you usually do.
There is no question - this is a scam. It is well known. You have be warned.
(Peter - perhaps we should change the heading of this post to emphasize the fact that we are demonstrating a scam email. People may not scroll down to read this and may try to email one of the addresses listed above.)

this same person is trying to make a scam on me! I'm from mexico too and its writing from an email address hanieldoreen10@gmail.com. She offered to pay more with shipping to USA
Since I did not liked the way she contacted me (she wrote an email address on the Mercado Libre page) and asked for wire transfer info (usually everybody likes to pay through paypal for security) I asked for shipping address before I made any move so I can research on email or shipping address I and I found many many people that has been scam or tried to scam with that shipping address (usually I asume he changes email address but not physical address)
Rene please publish the email address from where this person contacted first so on a google search others can locate our posts.
the shipping address that he provided for me was
Name: Akin Ojo
Address :1118 North Ave, Suite 1-128X
City: Plainfield, NJ
Zipcode :07062

Just curious, if the guy sends money to you via bank transfer, except that you may leak your bank account number, are there any other threats? I mean, if your bank account shows the money, is it reversible?

Wire transfers can only be used to push money to a recipient. They can't be used to pull money from a sender.
Wire transfers are generally final. This is from Bank of Canada: Canada's Major Payments Systems - Large Value Transfer System (LVTS):
The LVTS forms the core of Canada's national payments system. It substantially reduces systemic risk, and allows Canada to meet the best international practices for handling large-value payments. The risk-control structure of the LVTS is composed of the following elements:
...These four elements provide the participants with certainty of settlement. In turn, this certainty permits institutions to offer their customers intraday finality of payment.

Hi all
I registered to pass this on as a Google search directed me to this discussion thread when I searched an address received in an obviously dodgy scam that had approached me to buy a digital camera.
This is the series of emails after posting the camera on 2 greek selling sites. My email has been altered but take note of his and the details so others know.
