Winnipeg police warn of a taxi scam involving impersonators using fake signs and skimming devices.
Winnipeg police warn of a taxi scam where fraudsters impersonate taxi operators and passengers to steal money. They use fake taxi signs and approach bystanders in busy areas, claiming their taxi doesn't accept cash and asking for debit card payments. Scammers then use skimming devices to withdraw more than the fare. Authorities advise using only licensed taxis with official decals and identification numbers, and not lending cards to strangers.
