PLASTIC ATTACK - Vol. #100
Canadians rely on the use of debit and credit cards for everyday transactions more than any other country in the world. But as the use of plastic has risen, so has the incidence of scams and frauds. With the requisite hardware and methodologies, often only a mouse click away, it’s difficult to keep pace with the bad guys. That’s where the role of the knowledgeable, observant front line officer cannot be overstated. As an update to the 2002 OPVTA release dealing with debit and credit card fraud, “Plastic Attack” examines the latest criminal technologies, trends, behaviours and tip-offs that should get your attention and trigger a closer look. Officers are also provided with insights as to appropriate charges and where to turn for help. |
