Toronto police are looking to identify three men wanted in connection with a scheme that defrauded Pizza Pizza customers.
A number of customers contacted CityNews over a week ago, saying their debit cards were swapped and stolen while making payments during home deliveries. They allege thousands of dollars were taken from their bank accounts just hours after they ordered Pizza Pizza to their homes.
Police say after the pizza orders were placed, they were then intercepted by a group of at least three men who would then deliver the pizza’s to the intended customers.
Customers would pay using their debit card with the hand held device that was presented to them and during the transaction, the card of the unsuspecting customer would be compromised and switched out with a similar looking non-active card.
The suspects would then go to a nearby ATM and conduct fraudulent banking transactions.
It wasn’t until the customers were notified through their banks that they realized, their accounts had been compromised.
“Everything that was in my account was gone, except for $9,” customer Arantes Harris told CityNews. “There’s no words to really describe it really.”
Raihan Shirazi, another customer who contacted CityNews, expressed a similar sentiment when learning of the fraud.
“I’ve never been in this situation — so first thing I said is: am I gonna get my money back? Right now I have basically negative $899.”
Pizza Pizza told CityNews it was cooperating with the investigation and have adjusted operational procedures to ensure this type of fraud doesn’t happen again.
