Fraud Alert: Online Marketplace e-Transfer Scam
Members should be aware of a new fraud scam taking place that targets people who use an online marketplace to sell items. Here's how this scam works:If you are selling an item through an online marketplace, the fraudster contacts you, posing as an interested buyer, and offers to either pay for the item upfront before viewing it, or pay a deposit to hold the item. When you agree and provide your email address for an email money transfer, the fraudster sends an "e-transfer" email asking you to accept the transfer as payment. This email appears identical to the email you would receive for any other Interac e-Transfer® if you do not have the Autodeposit feature enabled. If you click the link to accept the deposit, the fraudster is then able to compromise your device and gain access to your account. The promised deposit never occurs. Instead, the fraudster steals your money by sending an e-transfer out of your account.
Protect Your Credit Union Account Access
A member's best defense against this scam is to enable the Autodeposit feature. With Autodeposit, any funds sent to you are deposited directly into your account without having to answer a security question. If you have Autodeposit enabled and you still receive an email asking you to accept a deposit, that is a red flag that it is quite likely this particular scam.Alternatively, if you sell items through an online marketplace, do not accept payments or deposits upfront. Agree to meet with the buyer for a viewing of the item you are selling before you accept any payment.
