Interesting. I had no idea this was going on.

Another good reason for frequent checking of accounts, statements and charges, and keeping good quality digitally scanned copies (PDF) files of all signed documents.

I also recommend checking online credit card activity weekly of every two weeks.

The latter has helped me identify attempted fraudulent activity with a credit card, particularly in the U.S. where credit card cloning is rampant.

We see at Home Capital, what wide spread fraud by brokers can do. Plus, the poorly handled situation by Home Capital's Management.

Greed has to be put in check by managers (not emphasised as the article says). This is one reason I avoid all banks that offer me products all the time and try to trick me to signing up with them. Their pushy ways are an example of them being greedy. I just couldn't trust them any longer.

I.e. PC Financial, RBC, Vancity all have tried to get me to sign up for stuff and usually in a tricky way. Like wording it as if it was something else or if it was required to bank with them. That's one of the reasons I don't bank with these banks anymore.
