RCMP offers safety tips for the holiday season

The RCMP is offering some safety tips as you plan for your holidays.  It says you can protect yourself from frauds and scams by protecting your PIN when using bank and debit machines; monitor your bank and credit card statements daily for any unauthorized transactions; and be cautious of unsolicited emails or calls, especially those requesting personal information.  Also, keep your vehicle from becoming a target by not leaving valuables in your car; park in well-lit areas and busy parking lots; and lock your vehicle.
