Massive B.C. fraud hits debit-card users
There has been a massive debit-card fraud in B.C.'s Lower Mainland involving thousands of cards and possibly millions of dollars, CBC News has learned.
The fraud was committed through compromised debit machines at stores in the communities of Ladner, Delta, Langley, Surrey and possibly Vancouver.
It appears debit-card pads were replaced with pads equipped with devices that transmitted PIN numbers and transaction information to a criminal organization.
CBC has learned the fraud involved some Safeway food stores, a credit union in Langley and a number of independent retailers.
One family hit for $11,000
The family of Kim Apps of Richmond was among those caught up in the fraud.
"We had three cards compromised," Apps said. "I'd say between two of the cards there has been about $11,000 [taken]."
Apps said she might not use a debit card again.
"It's getting too scary to use."
