    I’m lucky to have a lot of savings. I regularly get calls and emails from Scotiabank telling me to buy mutual funds and increase my credit limit. I always figured that if someone contacts you saying they have an offer that will make you a lot of money, they’re lying. CBC seems to confirm that.

      If you have a notable amount in savings, investing it in some way is generally a good idea, but I agree with not trusting your bank to steer you right.
