Got a phone message from my bank this morning advising that there nay have been fraudulent activity on my card. Fired up the BlackBerry and sure enough there was a charge for withdrawal of US funds from my account totaling just over 400.00 CDN around 10 PM last night. What the 'ell! Had to go right down to the bank and get a new debit card. Supposedly bank's fraud division will get back to me within 4 days and refund my money when they are convinced it's fraud. Nice Christmas present from the criminal element. === Sorry to hear that. I don't know about Canadian law but in the US there are much stronger protections for credit cards than debit cards. I generally advise people to not use debit cards for anything other than ATM withdrawals. I turned down the debit card from my bank (Chase) and insisted they provide an ATM card. They did, but I had to insist. What's the difference between a "debit" and an "ATM" card? The ATM card is only good for an ATM machine, with the security code. Most terminals are the same as an ATM. |
