A scam involving fake taxis being used to steal people's debit and credit cards appears to have made its way to Abbotsford after a warning from Burnaby R-C-M-P.
The scam involves the use of a black vehicle with a taxi sign on the roof and two fraudsters, one posing as a driver and one as a passenger.
Police say the fake customer pretends to have trouble paying their fare and approaches victims asking for their help to cover the cost, but when a victim offers their card, the scammers then covertly swap it out for a bogus one.
Burnaby R-C-M-P issued a warning last Friday, saying the suspects were two men in their 20s, and this week police in Abbotsford say they received a report of two men of the same age driving a vehicle with the same make, model and colour.
