TD Bank Scam?
 

Hey guys, my brother just received a new debit card from TD bank. The weird thing is that my brother did not ask for a new card. The letters in the mail even looked legit, so I cant even tell if its a scam or not. They even have my brothers information (bank card number, name, etc). What was strange is that there was no TD bank logo on the mail and there was no returning address. It only had PO Box 1000/ CP 1000 Markham, Ontario L3P 3N3 on the envelop. So I searched up the postal code online and I found this..

The place that scammed had the exact same address details. So I am thinking this is a scam. Does anyone that work at TD know of anything like this? Thanks.

Sorry crappy pic from iphone

just bring it to TD bank and ask them, sometimes they send out new cards to users that dont have the chip thing.

hhhmmm interesting I got one in the mail as well, havent used my debit yet though so i dont know...i think my mom got one like 8 months ago too(without asking), i think they just send out new ones to improve security

what i found weird though was that there is no activation required but i guess that doesnt matter since only you know the pin

RBC sent a new chip card to me, I didnt even ask for one. They are trying to move everyone to using chip cards for security.

my parents and i just received new cards as well

They are upgrading your older chipless cards to the new ones with chips.

Btw, my BMO mail comes in unmarked envelopes with my address and a P.O. box too. Basically all of my BMO mail comes like that.

Bring it to TD just in case.


Thread jacking a bit here but can I just walk into TD and ask for a new one?! I'm like the only one who still has one of the older cards lol -_-

^ Yes

its not fake. my whole family received it including me, and i had no problem using it at the bank. doesnt need new activation cuz its a debit card, card # stays the same, pin stays same, just a new chip.

isnt it common sense, how can "they" try to jack your info if they already have it all and sent it to you; its not like typing in ur pin with the card sends the pin to somewhere except the bank.

^yes

All debit and credit cards are switching over the chip and pin cards for improved security against credit card fraud. Soon all retailers will have switched over to chip pinpads as well

and the probably send it in unmarked envelopes to deter mail theft

THEY ARE UPDATING ALL CARDS TO CHIP CARDS....NOT A SCAM!

too bad the returning adresss isn't real.

I would have sent it back with my shit smeared inside, with a note saying "get a real job goon".

the new chip cards are real...but your's saying that your need to pay so much money is lol check it up with td

it's real, i just used mine not so long ago

i lol'd

TD sent me a new card (one with the chip) awhile ago when I was still on their old chip-less card. I didn't ask for one, they just sent it to me. Should be legit but if you have your doubts, take it into your TD branch.

yep not a scam. I got my card in the mail a few days ago, just used it to buy gas, withdraw money at an abm, and tried the new chip features which replaces swiping(if they replaced the interac machine) and basically just puts your card into a slot of the interac machine to read the chip. Some pretty cool stuff.

yeah not a scam TD is just implementing a new system

Yeah I work at TD and I can confirm that we do issue out new access cards like that

umm you know when banks and such send you cards, credit cards it's always in an unmarked envelope right? to prevent people from selectively stealing mail.

atleast all my cards have always come in unmarked envelopes.

I got one as well, did anyone bring it to TD to verify?

i brought it to td to use and the teller just explained to me how to use it properly; saying its new etc

this.

so u work at TD ..? so is it possible instead...of waiting for it....can i just come to u guys and hav it made instead of waiting and gettin it mailed? ..LOL i still hav the old one!!! TIA!
