Here is the link to the story on the CBC website.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/etransfers-autodeposit- 
cancelled-scam-interac-1.6764431

It turns out that the woman did NOT check the balance of her  
account, did she receive any "notification" of a deposit.  Very  
bad.

Usually, an eTransfer auto-deposit completes within a few  
minutes.

"When the (auto-deposit) e-transfers came from one of the big  
banks, senders never had an option to cancel it.

"Some credit unions, though, allowed senders to cancel for more
than half an hour after the (auto-deposit) e-transfer was sent
- even though the notification the sender received indicated it
was completed.

  ..that's very bad too. Shame on the credit unions, and shame  
on Interac for not inforcing protocols uniformly.
