“The driver let us out at the corner because there was road construction and I paid with a card that used a chip and a pin,” he said. The local.
When she was about to hit the pay button, Shepherd could no longer see the total taxi fare. That’s where the ‘game’ begins.
“As soon as I got home, I saw a bill of 890 euros (about Rp 13 million) and called Mastercard. They said maybe it was a taxi,” he explained.
In France, a card payment service for small businesses around the world is partnered with SumUp. SumUp said they would investigate this, the Paris police also cooperated.
“That’s a huge amount of money, not a sum that I can afford to lose and it really ruins a great trip,” he said.
