CIBC customer shocked after someone takes out $260K mortgage without warning

A B.C. woman says she’s shocked how someone was able to take out a mortgage and add her name without her permission. “I’m mind-boggled that you can open up a mortgage in a completely different province and not even be present,” Hailey Leo told Consumer Matters. The Langley, B.C. resident says her nightmare began on Feb. 14, 2025 when she logged into her CIBC account and discovered some of her personal information had changed. “Not my name, but my address, the phone numbers – there were three different phone numbers added. The address was changed to Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta,” said Leo. Leo says she received no notification or warning from her bank. When she contacted CIBC, she said she was connected to its fraud department, where staff members had frozen her account. Consumer Matters reporter Anne Drewa explains what happened next.
