Can't help feeling this would be vastly improved by being read out in a Mike Read-style 'Calypso' accent.
Dangerous fake email scams Page 16
Quote: Chappers @ 20th October 2014, 9:31 PM BSTSo is this a scam?
Almost 99.9% certainly yes.
If you go back to the original email and hover over the link it should bring up a little popup box - I'm assuming that this will be a different address to the one that's written in the email. It's explained a bit more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing#Link_manipulation. It's a bit difficult to confirm this as you've cut and pasted it here, so I think the formatting may have been lost which would direct you to a 'scam' site.
Secondly, no bank will ever ask you to do something like this online. They've written "You can release the hold on your account by visiting any of our branches
or by following our activation link now" as they're hoping people's laziness will spur them on to click the easy option of the link.
That's my take anyway.
Well as I've said I've never heard of this bank in Toronto anyway. Still getting junk from them though.

A new phone scam - known as number spoofing - is netting millions of pounds for fraudsters, consumers are being warned.
Financial Fraud Action UK (FFA UK) said the scam has become increasingly common in recent weeks.
Typically criminals fool people into thinking they are talking to their bank, or the police, on the phone.
To help gain the target's trust, they display a fake number on the phone's caller ID screen.
They then persuade the victim to hand over details of their bank account, or passwords, or suggest that they move money to keep it safe.
Using those personal details, they then steal money from that person's account.

If a caller is trying to draw your attention to the number on your phone display, it's very unlikely the call is genuine "
