A man has opened up about his experience with theft in a taxi after alleged scammers tried to access his bank accounts.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, took a taxi home from Harcourt Street late on March 16 but became uneasy after noticing someone else was sitting in the backseat. He quickly realised that the vehicle was heading in the wrong direction and later got into a heated discussion with the driver.
The driver asked him for his mobile phone in order to input his address directly from Google Maps. The man was then ejected from the backseat of the car by the other passenger once the phone was in the driver's hands, before the vehicle sped off.
