I recently began looking at other banks to see what their rates were, and noticed that ICICI is quite high at 4.1%. It's a bit of a co-incidence that I started receiving emails from ICICI that ended up in my SPAM bin. No, I didn't register or sign up for anything from them. So far, I've received 4 emails from them, with the following email addresses in the "From:" line:
specialist@intendground.com
specialist@soxbased.com
specialist@revoltproposal.com
specialist@hourfrog.com
They were all identical, with the subject of "Save today for a better tomorrow. Earn 4.10% p.a now", and a graphic touting the virtues of their savings account. It also claimed that "You have been sent this advertisment [sic] through opting in to one of our offers or by becoming one of our customers". As I said, I've done no such thing.
I've since read up about ICICI, and their dirty practices in India, such as hiring goons to beat up those who can't pay their loans. Even though this is an Indian bank you'd hope that ICICI Canada would have higher standards… but apparently hiring spammers to do their advertising is not beneath them. And yes, these spams are for ICICI Canada, not India. I wouldn't bring my money anywhere near them.
