Possible debit machine scam in Red Deer
Red Deer RCMP would like to warn Red Deer business owners of a potential scam that may be occurring in the city. On Friday, July 11, RCMP received reports of two males making suspicious “cold calls” to numerous businesses in the area of 43 Street and 54 Avenue. Business owners reported that two men dressed in suits entered their establishments, claiming to offer lower rates for debit machines. The men asked to handle the businesses’ current debit machines, but were refused in all cases. The men did not show business cards, other identification or product sales information, and were behaving in a manner that business owners found suspicious.
One man was described as Asian and the other was described as East Indian; both were described as speaking in broken English. RCMP attended but did not locate the men.
While RCMP are not certain these men were attempting to engage in unlawful business, they want to remind business owners not to let point of sale (debit and credit) machines out of their sight. It only takes a moment for scammers to insert a magnetic strip into point of sale machines; the magnetic strip then streams clients’ banking information and PINs to the scammers’ device. In some cases, entire PIN pads have been replaced by modified ones that give scammers access to banking information. Businesses are advised to check their point of sale machines regularly, looking for wires, loose pieces or other evidence the machine has been tampered with.
ATMs can also be tampered with in ways that allow scammers to steal banking information – RCMP advise people to test the solidity of the machine at the card insertion point. If it jiggles or feels loose, people are advised not to use the machine and to report their concern to the business, as scammers have been known to place hardware over a cash machine’s card insertion point in an attempt to steal client banking information.
Anyone with information that may assist the police in investigating this incident is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403.343.5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com
