🚨 Bank scam alert. We are warning the public about an increase in bank impersonation scams & encouraging Calgarians to exercise caution. Scammers are posing as banks & credit card companies, claiming your card has been compromised & offering to send a courier to collect it. They rely on fear & urgency to pressure victims into acting without verifying the situation. Scammers create a false sense of urgency by claiming that: 🚨 Fraudulent transactions are happening right now. 🚨 Your accounts are at immediate risk. 🚨 You must act immediately to avoid financial losses. 🚨 A courier is already on the way to collect your card. ✅ Remember:   💳 Banks and credit card companies will never send the police or couriers to collect your debit or credit card.  💳 Never provide your PIN, passwords, or one-time security codes to anyone. 💳 Never hand over your bank cards to anyone. 💳 If you're concerned, hang up & contact your financial institution using a trusted phone number.  If someone pressures you to act immediately, take a moment to confirm the information before responding. A few extra minutes could protect you from becoming a victim of fraud.
