Skimming involves the theft of account information through the MemberCard or credit card’s magnetic stripe. If your card is swiped at a fraudulent ATM or terminal, your account information can be captured and copied to a fraudulent debit card. Your PIN may also be recorded by an individual watching or through a hidden camera. Once this occurs, the fraudster will generally wait up to 12 months before utilizing the data they have illegally obtained. Transactions are typically made at ATMs outside of the province or outside of the country. In Canada, we have taken necessary precautions to try to prevent this type of crime by introducing chip technology. This technology requires you to insert your chip rather than swiping your card, which has prevented numerous incidents of fraud.

Always be aware of your surroundings and protect your PIN as you enter it in. If you are travelling outside of the country or your card is swiped instead of having the chip inserted, take extra precautions to protect your PIN.

Only keep one card per financial institution and update your PIN every 3 months.

Review your account activity and immediately report any unusual transactions to your financial institution.

If you feel that you have been the target of fraud, report it to your financial institution, Equifax and your local police.

Prize Scams are a type of mass marketing scam that targets its victims through mail, telephone or email. The message will include notification that you have won a prize and ask that you forward funds to cover fees or taxes prior to receiving the winnings.

In Canada, you are not required to pay any fees or taxes on prize winnings.

If you have not entered a contest or have purchased a lottery ticket of any kind, this is more than likely a scam.

Avoid being scammed by reviewing the top ten scams from the Better Business Bureau.

Extended warranty doubles the warranty period of a purchased item up to two years, as long as the manufacturer’s warranty is valid in Canada for five years or less. For example, when you purchase a laptop computer, the manufacturer would typically offer a one-year warranty. But if you use your MemberCard for the purchase, the laptop would be protected under the terms of the original warranty and the warranty would be doubled and valid for an additional one year period. Be sure to keep a copy of your transaction record, merchant bill and the manufacturers warranty. These will be needed when making a claim.
