Trevor Gillis is the Associate Vice President of Canadian Credit Cards at TD Bank and he offers some tips on how to protect yourself.
Gillis says it’s important to regularly check your bank and credit card statements as well as your online accounts.
He says it’s also a good idea to provide your bank with your cell phone number as most banks can now text you if they suspect fraud.
Gillis stresses to safeguard your online PIN numbers and meet your card responsibilities.
