I work for a major bank. A credit freeze wont help but make it harder on great regular clients. There will always been easier/lack lenders. Where there is a will there is a way that remains true for fraudster. They will simply remove the freeze or borrow debt around it. Best practice be conscious were you share your information. Fraud alerts can help avoid major issues. Credit monitering is reactive since it informs you when its happened so you know after an application. Alerts force full applications to check with you at your contact #. Makes me laugh they did not mention the effectiveness of the alerts. They also failed to mention if they were able to obtain any card. Does not sound like it since I am certain we would have heard it. My bank requires a person to visit in person with picture ID plus declines if the applications is not similar to the recent information.

What about giving it away to the people you call? What I mean is you picked up the phone, dialed the number to your bank from the back of your bank card. Thinking of course that you are talking to the bank. When in fact you are not and the scammer who just contacted you has temporarily frozen your phone line and your call to your bank is actually another scammer from the same building in India. But because you dialed the number yourself you are simply unaware of their abilities. Never trust a phone line or internet. If you have an issue go into your bank physically.

All times someone used my card I reported the fraud and the charge is removed. It's the companies that should care not the consumer.

I was wondering if credit freezes were available in Canada. They need to be. I'm a American and I have a credit freeze for all 3 credit bureaus, and it is an invaluable tool. It really does work, and I think that everyone should be able to get one.

I can't believe the one time fee. Even if I got as far as that, that Fee would be a no no ! I know it is easy to be fooled at sometime or other .so the best way to avoid all this is what I do and that never answer an unknown number, if they really want me they'll leave a voice mail message identifying themselves and their reason for calling, also gives you time to check it out if suspicious

As someone in the United States, I find it stupid that Equifax nor Transunion don't offer credit freezes to canadians regardless if it's not a law in Canada, especially when you consider that Equifax and Transunion are 2 of the main credit bureaus in the United States too. So rather than only asking the politician, you should have also asked Equifax and Transunion why they don't offer that type of service to Canadians when they do for Americans.

I suspect that if the credit is frozen, the creditor does not have to pay a fee. Frozen credit certainly disrupts the credit business so the credit agencies don't like it. Equifax actually lobbies the Canadian govt to not have to freeze credit. I dont think they would do that if they could make more money freezing it.

Thank you for posting this!!

I sent CBC an article regarding the schemes of business Equifax has been operating on and they never continued the investigation. Equifax and Transunion don't care about consumers, they care to sell your information! In Canada, there is no FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) the way it is in the United States. Credit Report freeze is a thing in the US and creditors would have to ask consumers to unblock or to give the access code. Just a quick comparison, even though the US uses their Social Security Number as a de facto national ID (not the case in Canada) their protection against these schemes are on much higher level of security than what being offered in Canada. Some further details: 1. credit/consumer reporting agency (including US Experian and CHEX) will be held liable for anything like this and/or fraudulent activities. 2. creditors who obtained consumer reports have to notify of any decision and/or info being used against customer. 3. Please look above, Canadians aren't being protected and the government does not enforce such an act.

This type of service would be just as effective if businesses would send a text to our phones asking if any of us just agreed to open this and that or refinance a mortgage, about to buy a car, whatever.

I get similar scam calls from time to time. The second I pick up and the caller begins their script, I interrupt them and ask them for the company name and a call back number (in case we get disconnected). Before I even complete my question, they've hung up. They call with general department names (card services, member customer services, , not company names and they don't want to provide a name either. Ask for a company name, ask how they got your information, then ask for their information. 9 times out of 10, if it's a scam, they'll hang up.

They even have the ability to temporarily hack your phone line. My mother got a call and didnt believe the person so she then called the bank herself using the number on the back of her card. She then felt fine giving the info to a different person on the phone cause she actually dialed the number. When in fact it was still the hackers and boom she was hacked.

@@jbird4478 Not if you have enough interest theoretically, but of course it's very little nowadays. Still a lot more interest than on cash.

iam not Canadian (middle eastern), but iam so into these videos/investigations Waiting impatiently every week for the new ep.

I got 1 of these calls like a week ago...luckily I was able too spot it when that same voice was hesitant too give me the company's name ...scary stuff..

I have changed my debit card twice, my credit card four times, and my passwords accordingly. I think that if you use these, you are vulnerable, and to change them regularly is just common sense. When Target had their data base of credit card customers hacked, I was in the group for the dates they cited at risk. I immediately went to my bank and requested a new debit card, with new number. They asked me why. I told them that Target had been hacked, and my debit card was among the information stolen. They asked if anyone had used it. I told them no, and I wasn't going to wait until it was. They (Wells Fargo) acted like I was being neurotic, but they humored me. I got caught in two credit card scams, and changed my number four times, along with the password. Crooks are very smart, and they have the technology to steal your stuff. I do not answer the phone to solicitors, and I cannot tell you how many calls I have received offering to reduce my credit card interest. Scams are everywhere, and there is good reason to use cash at every opportunity.

I use my debit card inside my bank. I never use it anywhere else . No ATM withdrawals or purchases with my debit card so no one is getting hold of any information. I use one credit card or cash, and I can check up on my credit card transactions anytime at my convenience .

Those are Indian accents on the phone...

And the answer is money. Money that credit agencies making as you need to pay them 500cad a year to have a chance to be alerted after the fact. As that politician said, gouvernement is looking for a balance. Balance between Canadians being scammed with little to no way to protect themselves and credit agencies making millions.

Lmaooo those close ups

How can people fall for this! Lower your interest for a fee?? Lower interest for LIFE??

Fraud alert only works if the credit follows the proper procedures. You are supposed to contact the individual using the phone number they provided on the alert. The person must confirm they applied for the credit prior to approving the application. It only works if the creditor follows the procedure for clearing fraud alerts. There is nothing preventing them from just approving the application without calling you first.

Please do not allow Hauwei in our beautiful country.

The politician’s answers are hollow and evasive. Why does it take so long for people to do their jobs. This law makes perfect sense, but no, let’s stalled and stall and stall some more. I would be furious and scared if my info is stolen. FML. So this law should be passed now or honestly as much as I would not want to happen to me but, microchips in the hand. Other countries do it.

great info, Market Place does a good job. ID theft: 4 times - Online shopping is bad, but guess it is unavoidable ?!?

Got the call too but being that I work at as financial advisor I just hung up and I have no debt so no need for lower interest. I feel sorry for people who was hooked.

Nigerians and Pakistani's. !!! Doing the world such a great service ?

We’ve got Nigerians who scam us here In Abu Dhabi

The BEST protection is ONESELF! We should take more care in revealing our ID, educate yourself, take actions such as occasional checks with the credit bureaus. ID theft is just another scam. If one doesn't care and do anything, he 'll be frauded in other ways. No laws, gov't, police, credit companies can do all for him. Thank Market Place for warning us

Scammers hate these simple words: Let me call you back!
