Toronto police say hundreds of people were defrauded out of more than half a million dollars as part of a large-scale “taxi scam” in the city. Det. David Coffey told reporters Thursday that 11 people have now been arrested following a 10-month fraud investigation, dubbed Project Fare. At a news conference at Toronto police headquarters, Coffey said investigators uncovered a “criminal network” that was operating a well-known scheme where suspects pose as taxi drivers and ask customers to pay for the ride using a credit or debit card. #ctvnews #news #toronto #taxiscam
