More than $50K defrauded from Guelph bank
Banks and credit unions advise customers change their PIN every three months.
Guelph Police say a fraud scheme targeting a bank in the city has resulted in a $57,000 loss.
Cheques, supposedly for a business account, were deposited in the unnamed bank's night deposit box on May 5.
Two days later, $57,000 from the account was used to make a purchase.
The cheques were later determined to be fake, which led to the bank freezing the account.
After a woman tried to withdraw money from the account on Wednesday, police arrested her.
A 32-year-old Guelph woman was charged with fraud over $5,000 and uttering a forged document.
