I received a bank card with an amount on it from Royal Oaks private bank via a legitimate courier company in South Africa. With it was a letter saying I must contact them to get the PIN for the card. I did, and then they told me I must pay 5000 rand to get the PIN. Does it sound like a scam because everything looks legit?
