Interac e-Transfer® Interceptions

Interac e-Transfer® interceptions are becoming more common as scammers look for new ways to hit pay dirt.

Your e-Transfers can get picked off if an enemy hacks into your intended recipient's email account, pounces on an e-Transfer notification before the receiver can, and correctly guesses the answer to the security question – either because it was sent in another email or it's just too easy to guess. Then, the scammer redirects the money into their account and runs off with a big score.

But the best offence is a good defence. Here’s your playbook:

Protect your passwords.
Use strong security questions and be careful about how you share the answer. Don't send the answer in an email.
And better yet, set up Autodeposit for quick and secure e-Transfers – and encourage everyone on your team to do the same.

That way, you can shut out scammers and keep this threat on the sideline.
