To the CCBBB's knowledge, unless money is required for a security deposit, it is not legitimate to require money upfront for a credit card. Please contact the fraud squad of the Ontario Provincial Police (Canadian Police) toll free at 1-888-495-8501 if you are a victim of this scam. If you are from the United States, please also contact the ID Theft division of the Federal Trade Commission toll free at 1-877-438-4338.
