The Other Cash Cab

As many of you know there is a program on the Discovery Channel called Cash Cab, an innovative production wherein passengers become contestants in a mobile quiz show. Sadly, there are other "cash cabs" making the rounds, that you should know about.

Specifically, I am talking about cab services engaged by Jamaican con artists to help them maintain contact with victims whose lines of communication have been severed by concerned family members.

As the guardian of a fraud victim embroiled in a Sweepstakes scam for over three years, I thought I had seen every trick in the book. Every trick, that is, until I learned about this ruse from DIDS and Joolz, whose testimonials inspired me to search for accounts of other "cash cabs" on the web, such as this one.

Knowing what I know now, the question is: What to do about it?

For my part, I am going to warn every cab company where I live, about this scheme.

What are you gonna do?
