Who cares if he is legal or not ?
I have had those type of fares before in my Bootleg days, usually drug dealers/users who have too much money and stoned outta their brains and I never had a problem with any of them paying up.

One such customer of mine back in the day was a young man staying in a plush apartment in the Jacobs Island complex about 3km outside the city. He was 'On the Bubble' fer only about 6 weeks before he disappeared.
One night he rings me to order his usual 70cl of Vodka + mixer and to bring some Heur home to the city. I agree, he pays fer the Bootleg + the fare fer the Asian Heur home. Along the journey back with the Heur he rings again asking me if I will bring her back and he will pay her another €200, I hand my phone back to the lady to make her own decision, to which she agrees and I bring her back to yer-man-o fer no extra charge but he insists on paying a gratuity.
An hour later he rings again fer another 70cl + mixer and to bring the Heur home again and adds; " N' FFS Hurry up, I'm shite sick a looking at de bitch !".
I obliged and got paid in full again.

Excerpt from Taxi Diaries;
Chapter 18. Let's Keep it LEGAL !
I was awoken one Friday night/Saturday morning by my phone ringing
at about 2.30am, I answered the call as I should have been out working
on my second shift since 2am.
A young lady introduced herself as D. and in a proper Cockney accent she
said; "Allo Darlin', ur mate Din gave me ur number fer some late nite alcohol".
So we made a deal for Three bottles of strong white wine to be delivered
to a luxury apartment in Montenotte and set a price of €40,
A Tenner a bottle and a Tenner delivery.
I arrived at the apartment block about Twenty minutes later and rang
her mobile number and she asked;
"Could you please bring up the wine, as I had very little on ! "
Well ! I was up them stairs 'Lickity split' and knocking at her door,
D answered the apartment door and peeped a small blond head out
from behind her door to see me and then she ushered me in to the
apartment. D was a buxom lass about mid Thirties wearing only a black
thong, very tight black bra and a completely see-tru black negligee.
I was brought in to the living room area, where I met two other scantily
dressed ladies relaxing on their respective couches, one was a very
lovely black girl with a hugh rack and the other was a white thinner girl
wearing only black bra and panties, a very pretty girl, but she had the
look that too much substance abuse had been in her life.
All the girls had English accents, the centre coffee table was littered with
empty glasses and wine bottles. D introduced me to the two other girls
and it was a very relaxed atmosphere.
The black girl made a comment about me at one stage, she said,
"The poor man, he doesn't know where to look ! "
and she was so right !
I couldn't help but to notice some Durex condoms on the sideboard
and it was obvious the girls were all prostitutes.
I actually found the Three girls photos on the Escort Ireland website,
I know the photos were real because it's the same phone number listed
for D on her webpage that she rang me on that night. None of the girls
photos did them justice, they where all much prettier in real life.
We did our business and D paid me the Forty Euro for the wine and then
she said to me; "I know I shouldn't ask, but do you know where we might
get some cocaine" ?
I told her; "I don't do drugs at all, but I'll jus try one of my friends for you",
and I rang J a good 'Bootleg vodka' customer of mine and no stranger to
the odd snort, (about 25'ish and a handsome young lad).
J. answered the phone and I asked him if he cud sort the girls wiv a bit
of Blow ?, J said "No problem, wiv a bit of White fer you Ken"
and I told him it was nothing to do with me but the girls were cochere
and there would be No problems.
I handed my phone to D and she made her deal wiv J, My phone was handed
back to me and I made arrangements to collect J from a casino in town at
3.30am and bring him up to the girls apartment where D had insisted on
getting a 'Tester' from J before she paid for the product.
I left the girls apartment at 3.10am and did a fast base job before heading
in to collect J from the casino, I was driving down the South Mall having a
fag in the cab and I saw this Garda checkpoint ahead of me, I held the fag
down by my knee and drove up to the checkpoint.
(€150 on-the-spot fine for Smoking in the Workplace/Taxi).
A middle-aged Guard stopped me and had the briefest of brief glances at
my Tax/NCT and Insurance windscreen discs. I was trying to cover my illegal
truckers steering wheel spinning handle which was illegaly attached to my
steering wheel with my left arm while holding the fag down by my knee with
my right arm, whilst avoiding a 'Panic Attack' !
And the Guard said to me calmly; "Cold tonite isn't it" ?
I replied; "Tis lovely 'n warm in here" !
The guard said; "Quiet tonite isint it" ?
I replied; "Yea, but t'was 'Nuts' last nite for Paddys nite",
I asked him, was he working last nite ?
He replied; "Yea, but I was indoors and t'was grand".
The smoke from my cigarette was now wafting up through the cab
window and my ankle and knee were starting to Tremble on the clutch !
I had a few bottles of Bootleg vodka hidden in the boot of the cab,
I had just sold Three bottles of bootleg wine to Three prostitutes
and I was collecting a drug-dealer Fifty yards away to bring him to
a drug-deal that had been arranged on my phone and this Guard
was mad looking for a Chat from me !!
I eventually got away from the Guard and turned the corner off
the South Mall and drove Twenty yards to the casino to meet J.
I could still see the Flashing Blue lights in my rear view mirror of
the Garda checkpoint when J came out of the casino and told me;
"I'm in a Big card tournament Ken and I'm doing very well",
I.E. hinting at, "You bring up the cocaine and I'll sort you later",
but I'd No interest in that, that would be crossing a big line for
me and One that I'm not or never will be willing to cross.
So I started explaining to J about his female customers in Montenotte
and how there were all in their 'Skimpies' and I think J had, what is commonly
known as 'A touch of a Curious Horn', so J went back in to the casino and
cashed in his chips and arrived back out with his mate K. (also about 25'ish).
K was completely "Off his face" on cocaine, I explained the whole situation
to J and he was fine with it, but his mate in the back-seat K was attempting to
snort more coke while we were driving and spilling most of it on the cab floor.
K was 'Tripping bad' and he was 'Good n Tight' and having dillusions.
He was adamant about there being big Polish lads and Guards in the
apartment ready to beat them up, despite having been told Three or
Four times that it was only Three girls they we were going up to meet.
I dropped the Two lads at the Apartment and rang D to tell her to let
them in and I warned her; "Be gentle with them, there only young lads" !
J paid me a Tenner for the fare from a massive wad that he had won in
the casino. when he cashed in at 3.30am he was up 450Euro, and I left
the Two boys with the English prostitutes.
Thirty minutes later a call from J; "Come 'n collect me Ken",
The girls had given him a Hard time over the quality of the "White" that he
was offering and haggling the price, D had told him "It was burning her nose",
but J insisted it was the best stuff around and told her "To wait for de Kick" !
eventually they bought his product from him, but J was pissed off because
of all the haggling and he wanted Out.
I collected him from the apartment block, but no sign of his mate K,
J rang K on his mobile and K said 'He was staying',
so myself and J headed home back to the other side of the city.
J hooked up with his girlfriend and paid me another Tenner for the fare.
I headed for home in the thought of getting a few hours sleep,
before I met an old girlfriend to engage in yet another illegal activity
of taking stones from a beach at 8am the next morning to make a rockery
for her garden. I was into bed at 4.45am, but I left the phone on in case
I was late for the morning skulduggery.
I got another call at 6am from D the prostitute asking if I could call
and collect the other lad, at first I refused and told her I would send
another cab up for him, but I then thought better of it and I may aswell
see the whole story through, so I outed my bed yet again and I collected
young K from the apartment at 6.15am, he seemed to have regained
some of his wits about him.
K went on to tell me stories along his way home Southside of how he was
just sitting in the living room with the girls 'Having the craic' and a few lines
of coke and a few glasses of wine and there were male clients coming and
going all night, the girls were coming in and out wearing different costumes,
but mostly in suspender belts and at one stage D came in with a Whip !
K said an old fella (about Sixty-Five) came in about 5am and tottered off
to one of the bedrooms. He said he could hear the beds creaking and
bouncing quite easily from the living room all night long.
K asked for a 'Quickie' on credit a few times, but the girls refused him,
telling him that 'He was too young for them' !
The girls had pulled K's top off him at one stage, just for fun and the
black girl had told him that he was 'Pigeon chested'!
He was very insulted by that remark, so he let loose and shouted at them
"YE ARE ALL ONLY OLD BRASSERS !". I think that is why he was asked to leave.
So I drove K over to other side of the city and got another 13Euro off him.
31Euro profit on the wine + 3 fares 33Euro= 64Euro for about an hours work.
But the Story, Priceless !

The old bank card scam?
-
Might be one for your mate in NTA enforcement, Doc. Should be easy to investigate with access to Free Now's records, I guess.
-
The old bank card scam?
He gets your bank details to give you the money and does the reverse?
-
I reported him to FREE NOW. His custom is more important to FN than their reputation for facilitating fraud.

The old bank card scam?

No. Card scammed from unsuspecting old folk thinking the bank has sent a taxi to collect it. My thinking here is that they've put an extra taxi "link" in the chain to complicate tracing through taxi apps. I'm guessing you'd be met by another taxi man delivering the card to you or some such and the lad you deliver it to will appear before you go into the hotel.
On the plus side you may well get the 150 in used notes... Don't take a card off him anyway!
-
... or the "bank official" may have arranged to meet the victim in the garage as it's on his way home or some such... and then calls to say he's had to work late so is going to send a taxi... and the taximan will be picking up a bottle of milk for the office while he's there...
... I've a strong hunch that it's some variation of that scam anyway!
-
@ SB and DMG.

No Ken, he got spooked when I asked him for his mobile. He texted that he would pay with a pre-loaded card.
That's when I smelled a rat.
No offence RC. 8)

https://www.thejournal.ie/aib-warns-taxi-scam-fraud-6449275-Jul2024/ (https://www.thejournal.ie/aib-warns-taxi-scam-fraud-6449275-Jul2024/)
AIB HAS WARNED of an increase in the number of scams where customers are visited by a taxi driver or courier supposedly sent by the bank to collect their card.
The bank said it is also aware of instances in recent days where scammers gave instructions to leave cards under front door mats for collection.
It is warning customers to “remain vigilant” as instances of the scam increase.
The scam involves a customer receiving a fraudulent text claiming to be from a bank, a utility company or another business containing a link to click.
Customers believe the text is genuine and provide personal, login and card details to the fraudulent site.
They then receive a follow-up call from someone claiming to be from their bank and are told their card is compromised and needs to be collected.
In some cases, they are also told to include their PIN.
After this, a taxi driver or courier then arrives to their address and collects their card. On occasion, multiple bank cards have been collected, and some customers believed the person who came to the door was a legitimate bank staff member.
The stolen card is then used for ATM withdrawals or payment fraud.
“Fraudsters are becoming more and more sophisticated, and we have seen an increase in the number of cases of this kind of taxi or courier scam in recent weeks,” AIB’s Head of Financial Crime Mary McHale said.
“AIB will never ask customers to hand over their bank card or their bank PIN to anyone and we urge customers to end any conversation where someone purporting to be from their bank asks them to do so.”
McHale said the scams can be very sophisticated and criminals go to great lengths to defraud people.
“It’s particularly distressing for customers to be visited in person by someone pretending to be from a bank. In some cases, legitimate taxi drivers or couriers have been unwittingly involved,” she said.
“We are aware of instances where these drivers have refused to accept the bank cards and we thank those drivers for their vigilance.”
AIB said that where customers have been scammed, it will deal sympathetically with them on a case-by-case basis.
The bank advised customers to keep the phrase ‘don’t click on the link’ in their minds and to ask themselves if something is legitimate before reacting to a call or message.
It said customers should end any conversation where someone asks them to give them their card or hand it over to a taxi or courier or leave it out for collection. AIB will never ask customers to do that.
AIB said customers should make themselves aware of current fraud threats by regularly checking their bank’s security centre on their website.
Customers should not call any number provided in a text or email message, and search and confirm the phone number using the bank’s website.
“You can also ensure any website you use is secure and genuine by checking for the padlock symbol to the left of the web address. If it’s not there, beware,” the bank said.
Customers who think they have been a victim of fraud should contact their bank immediately and report it to Gardaí.

Would you give your card to someone wearing a shell suit with BBQ sauce dripping down the front?
