Summary
A Whitehorse woman lost $29,000 to scammers who impersonated her bank and payment processor, tricking her into handing over financial details under false pretenses—her bank refused to reimburse her, citing her own authorization. This is part of a nationwide fraud surge, with Yukon losses up 6,300% since 2020. Consumer advocates argue banks, by pushing risky digital banking without adequate safeguards, must shoulder more responsibility. While the federal government pushes new anti-fraud measures, critics say they lack teeth. Watchdogs now demand legislation modeled after the UK, making banks liable by default unless they can prove extreme customer negligence.
