New Yorkers Beware of Fake NYC Taxis

NYC_Taxi_1

So this was posted on an image board today and we thought it was important to warn all New Yorkers about a scam that’s going around the city as we speak.  The user for the account writes:

“I got into a normal NYC taxi today, but when it was time to pay, the driver took my card and swiped it through two different machines, stealing my info. Then I realized he wasn’t even a real NYC taxi!”

Below you’ll see pictures so you can be aware of this for yourselves.  Don’t let these guys walk all over you!

No NYC taxi info or 311 info. The credit card machine was turned off.

852? First of all, that’s not even the same at the front of it!

0852 is not even a real taxi medallion number!

Real NYC taxi plates are just the medallion number.

The medallion that was stamped on the hood has been removed.

Notice the TWO credit card machines. One of them is to steal your credit card info!
