Watch Credit Card Transactions!
Avoid fraud, be aware. Check ID, watch the person when entering their PIN. One of the lines a fraudster might use is “Oh, I messed up my PIN number. I will try again” – this is a clear indicator that you might be at risk.
If you are unsure of how to protect yourself, contact the Langley RCMP Non-Emergency line at (604) 532-3200 and someone will come out to train your staff.
