Manitoba RCMP is warning the public about interac e-transfer scams that are becoming more prevalent. In these instances, the victim receives an email which appears to be from someone trying to send them an interac e-transfer. At first glance it appears legitimate and when the victim clicks on the link and enters in their banking credentials, the scammers are able to steal the banking login information. This gives the scammers access to the account which allows them to withdraw large sums of money. Scammers are becoming more and more sophisticated, so extra caution is needed before you accept an e-transfer.

I've always wondered why you needed to put in ALL your banking credentials to receive an etransfer if you don't have autodeposit on. Why not just have your username/access # only then have it put it in the default account or save it for later when you login. It just seems ripe for scams.

I've never had to enter my credentials to receive an e-transfer before and I don't use auto deposit, that's pretty weird!
