| Taxi in New South Wales |
A new scam emerged in Sydney earlier this month. You could be prone to it if you take a taxi from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD).
In this scam, the taxi driver says his electronic payment system is not working.
This is actually a very common scam around the world, but in this variation, the driver says he can process your charge on a manual machine. If you agree, what happens next is that your credit card number is fraudulently re-sold.
If you encounter this scam, we advise that you say no to the manual machine, and pay cash.
