Abbotsford police are asking for help identifying a suspected credit card scammer.
A photo of the man believed connected to the scam was shared by the Abbotsford Police Department in a social media post on Tuesday (May 20).
APD informed residents of the scam in a previous release on May 12, noting several reports of individuals contacted by someone claiming to be from their credit card company, stating their card was compromised.
“The scammer instructs them to cut up the card but leave the chip intact. Shortly after, a driver is sent to collect the cut-up card. The chip is then reused, leading to unauthorized transactions on the victim's card,” police said.
Police reminded residents that banks don’t send drivers to collect compromised cards, advising never to share personal information with unknown callers.
APD say the man is believed to be connected to a scam in which an Abbotsford resident was defrauded.
Those with information are urged to contact the Abbotsford Police Department and reference file number 25-16685.
