CBA Fraud Prevention Tip
It’s sometimes hard to keep on top of all the information you need to know to keep your money and your personal information safe. Terms like “identity theft,” “debit card fraud” and “phishing” can sound scary and you may not know where to turn to get clear information about what these terms mean and how you can protect yourself.
To help you make fraud prevention a habit throughout the year, the CBA, on behalf of Canada’s banks, has developed a convenient Fraud Prevention Tip” that is e-mailed to subscribers. In each edition, we’ll focus on one important fraud issue, such as how to shop and surf online safely, how to prevent your credit and debit card numbers from falling into the wrong hands, and about identity theft — what it is and how you can prevent it.
