A taxi driver from Jerusalem has been arrested on suspicion of defrauding dozens of passengers by swapping their credit cards and using their PINs to withdraw hundreds of thousands of shekels. The suspect allegedly took passengers' credit cards and secret codes, then replaced them with his own cards to make cash withdrawals and purchases at various businesses.

If fraud is suspected, individuals should immediately contact their credit card company to block the card and file a police report.
