Fraud Tip: Scammers Steal Destroyed debit cards!

When you cut-up your debit card, you probably think that it can’t be used. Think again. There’s a troubling new twist in debit card fraud with the security chip. In this attack, scammers call unsuspecting victims pretending to be from the financial institution and claim there’s a problem with their debit card. But, the scammer can help fix it. 

The scammers manage to convince victims to cut up the card, but leave the chip exposed. Then, they say that as a security convenience, a representative will stop by to collect it. Don’t fall for it. They’ll have the chip and trick you to also providing the PIN to drain the account.
