Heads up #Ottawa: We’re seeing an increase in scams involving taxi fares. People are being approached by a young person claiming they need taxifare. A taxi driver, or someone pretending to be a taxi driver, is typically parked nearby to make the story seem true. The young person makes claims about why their payment methods haven’t worked but will offer to reimburse the unsuspecting person with cash if they use their card to pay for the taxi.
When the unsuspecting person pays, they do not realize that their card has not been returned to them or has been swapped with someone else’s. The scammers will then use the unsuspecting person’s card until it’s locked.

Attention, #Ottawa: on constate dernièrement une hausse du nombre d’arnaques impliquant des tarifs de taxi. Une jeune personne aborde la victime, affirmant avoir besoin d’argent pour payer sa course en taxi. Un chauffeur de taxi, ou quelqu’un se faisant passer pour un chauffeur de taxi, est généralement stationné tout près pour rendre le récit plus plausible. La jeune personne explique que ses modes de paiement n’ont pas fonctionné, mais propose de rembourser la victime en argent comptant si elle veut bien régler la course à l’aide de sa carte.
Lorsque la victime peu méfiante effectue ce paiement, elle ne réalise pas que sa carte ne lui a pas été rendue, ou qu’elle a été échangée pour une autre. Les escrocs se serviront ensuite de la carte de la victime jusqu’à ce que celle-ci soit bloquée.
#Auroraborealis This is the fifth time seeing the #NorthernLights but my first time capturing on film. Not too shabby for an iPhone 13. #spacewx #nature #universe #solarflare

Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
Rail crossing glitching on Conroy - lights going, 3/4 arms up, no train. Stop - look - listen, go slow or pick another route. @OttawaPolice #otttraffic

NEW: Hundreds more public buildings in this province - including schools - have the same type of lightweight concrete roof panels that triggered the Ontario Science Centre’s closure.
Yet only the Science Centre has been ordered shut down.
