From here everything looks fine. However when you clicked the link, it will lead you to a website which looks like from www.northfinance.com asking you for your NF account info.

The link will link you to this site fxpanel.northfinance.com - Home

Notice the different website address.

Instead of northfinance.com it is nortlhfinance.com

So pls take this information seriously.

Thank you.

Great catch, henrycarol. BTW, I checked on the whois data base - http://swhois.net/
for the owners of "nortlhfinance.com", unbelievably, it's registered here in my province (in a little town - Yarmouth - at the bottom tip of Nova Scotia.), while "northfinance.com" is registered in Cyprus. I've passed this on to the RCMP, just in case anything is amiss.

(Added after)
BTW, anyone reciving similar fraud letters can get in touch with the RCMP via this page:

Mods - it might be useful to have a "report a possible fraud page" with links to various agencies so that it'll be handy when something like this comes up.
