Protecting Yourself In The Marketplace

• Carry as few cards and documents as possible, and always check to see the credit card you get back is your own.
• Avoid giving out any personal information over the telephone unless you've placed the call yourself or know the business.
• Never tell anyone the password you use at the Automated Banking Machine (ABM), and be sure no one is watching when you use an ABM. For more tips on protecting your personal identification number, visit Interac.
• Be aware that financial institutions and police will never ask for your passwords or PINs.
• Don't put more than your name and address on your personal cheques.
