Winnipeg debt card users have been told to double-check their debt card statements after police confirmed complaints of debt card fraud.

The commercial crime unit are investigating reports of at least two Winnipeg financial institutions where debt card information was harvested from a skimming device, somewhere in the city, after users using their cards had funds removed from their accounts.

Remi Bisson of Caisse Populaires credit union, which experienced skimming from their users accounts, said yesterday that the losses incurred by their clients will be covered by the institution’s insurance policy. He added that if any fraud is suspected the debit card is immediately cancelled.
