Russ Lewis lost nearly $19,000 in a matter of minutes after his wallet was taken from him on the way to lunch in Toronto's financial district. Last Updated Wednesday, September 18, 2019 1:06PM EDT
The 55-year-old said he left his office, got into the elevator and then walked along King Street to Bay Street. Lewis, who also fell victim to credit card fraud about 10 years ago, said he thinks he was pickpocketed either on his walk to lunch or in the elevator at work. The bank manager immediately blocked his accounts but by that point it was too late. “They had already hacked and accessed all my cards and bank account,” Lewis said.
He said the bank also told him the thieves tried to access an additional $10,000 after the cards were locked but the transactions were blocked. “These people can literally pry so far into you in a matter of seconds and there is nothing you can do about it.”Lewis said to avoid this happening to him again, he will no longer carry his wallet around with him. Instead, he said he’ll carry one credit card and some cash, but only in his front pant pocket.
So he’s bragging? Why?
Toronto, Ontario's armpit.
