After returning from a vacation to the Dominican Republic, an Ontario couple said they were 'shocked' to see they'd been charged $4,623 for a 19-minute taxi ride.

After returning from a vacation to the Dominican Republic, an Ontario couple said they were “shocked” to see they'd been charged $4,623 for a 19-minute taxi ride.

“I put in my pin, I saw the amount that I was to pay, which was $36 USD, and after the transaction went through, I handed back the machine and we parted ways,” she said. Brauer said when she contacted BMO to explain what happened she thought the charges would be reversed and was shocked when they weren't.

"They should ramp up their security and they should really crack down on this and stop putting it onto their customers," she said. “Customers are responsible to ensure the correct amount is displayed on the point-of-sale terminals prior to inserting their credit card and entering their PIN to authorize a transaction. We encourage customers to be vigilant at all times,” the spokesperson said.
