Fraudsters try a new method to steal bank cards in Langley

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Feb, 2025 05:39 PM
  • Fraudsters try a new method to steal bank cards in Langley

Langley R-C-M-P are warning the public about a new attempt to steal bank cards by fraudsters.

The scheme includes calling the victim first to warn them someone is trying to tamper with or compromise their card, then arriving at the victim's house to "collect" the tainted card.

Police say victims have given the fraudsters information because they passed themselves off as being with the bank.

Mounties are warning people to be cautious about claims of fraud from unknown numbers, with the scam primarily targeting seniors.
