Customers that used the TD Bank in Port Moody between 1:30 and 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 8, are being advised to contact their financial institution after a debit card skimmer was discovered attached to an ATM machine.
Port Moody Police were able to determine that the device, which was setup at the 110 Brew Street branch, was only hooked up for 30 minutes. Debit card skimmers can steal personal information and PIN numbers that can be used to commit fraud.
Those who believe their personal information may have been compromised should change their PIN numbers and closely monitor all account transactions in the coming months.
A person who has become a victim of credit card fraud or identity theft should contact the police department immediately.
Anyone with information about the debit card skimmer at the TD Bank should contact the Port Moody Police Department at 604-461-3456. People can also provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.
