Authorities stress that legitimate banks never request card destruction or courier pickups.
Scammers use the chip to steal data and commit fraud.
Residents should verify card status using the number on the card, cut cards through the chip if deactivating, destroy all pieces, and never share sensitive information during unsolicited calls.
Report suspected fraud to the bank, Winnipeg Police, or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
