Nova Scotia RCMP’s Commercial Crime Section has identified a recent trend in the province where vendors have been receiving large-volume or expensive orders for tires and other high-value items, which are paid for using a stolen or compromised credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A charge-back dispute is made against the vendor by the credit card company for a fraudulent transaction, in some cases after the product has been shipped through a pre-arranged transportation company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vendors should review the terms of their agreements with credit card companies, as often transactions where the credit card is not present are subject to charge-back, should it be determined the credit card was used without authorization from the true cardholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone who suspects they have been targeted by a scam is encouraged to contact their local police and also the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at\u00a01-888-495-8501\u00a0or online at\u00a0https:\/\/www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca\/index-eng.htm<\/a>.
