    I got caught in a debit card scam.

    Spent 2 hours at my bank this morning. My debit card was hijacked .

    In Montreal there is an organised crime ring of debit card thieves making big headlines and BIG bank. I was one of there victims this weekend. They cloned my debit card and were able to access all my accounts and credit cards. They nailed me for almost 30K, smart fuckers.

    My bank said Ill get all my money back no problem, but i know Its gonna be a pain in the ass getting everything sorted out. All new accounts and credit cards, gotta call all my montly regulars and inform them of the changes. What a drag

        i feel your pain... last summer some fuckers in Toronto (i live in Edmonton) managed to produce a fake copy of my driver's license and use it to get access to my bank accounts. stole 36K in one day - luckily we caught on right away. i've got all new accounts on permament freeze now. it's a real pain in the ass (the bank manager has to approve every transaction involving my accounts)... c'est la vie.

            damn, really sorry to hear. this is a big problem up in Canada? i don't think i've heard of it happening here in the states for quite a while, and never very widespread..

              36k sounds rather small considering.

                    3 debit card and an credit card? to get money out of that debit card, they would need to know the pin number unless you're stupid and give it out to people/companies like pizza hut. there must be an insider working at the bank!

                      it obviously could have been much worse. still it really, really shakes you, knowing you're so vulnerable. i seriously contemplated pulling everything out in gold, and hiding it under my bed lol. all my acounts are locked down and monitored closely now.

                      ray - has the bank said you'll get your money back? i told them i'd pull everything right then and there if they did not reimburse me.

                                Now that would be a site to see. I haven't had anything stolen from my bank yet, less the stupid bank charges you see from time to time. It's cool you can lock it down though.

                                    Not if it has a VISA or MC logo on it... those can always be run through as credit without having to enter a pin number.

                                        Hmm, usually on a debit card there is a daily limit, wonder how they got passed that.

                                          Not always. Some have an unlimited withdrawal limit. Depends on the bank.

                                            Canadian banks don't issue check cards.

                                            Debit card fraud has been huge in Canada lately.
                                            Some common scams are swiping the card through a second reader to copy the mag stripe information while you buy something. As you do the transaction, they swipe your card again through a second reader. Meanwhile, a second person watches you put in your PIN over your shoulder, or a video camera records it.

                                            Another common scam involves switching your debit card at an ATM. As you do a transaction, someone is watching you put in your PIN from behind. Once the money comes out, but before the card comes out, the person behind says you dropped something, usually a twenty dollar bill. When you turn around to get it, a second person at the machine next to you grabs your card and switches it with another card.

                                            In the case of identity theft, if they get your driver's license, they can put their pic on it and change the PIN number on the card.

                                            Most cards have daily withdrawals limits, and most machines have transaction limits of $1000 per day. By going to a casino, you can very easily get around this. You purchase a large amount of chips on the card, no PIN required, play a bit and then cash them in.
