In Dublin Airport they have signs advising to avoid scam taxis.

"the exact same thing happened to me - with variations"

So not the exact same thing.

How did they take money from the guys account even if they had his phone? There’s usually security in backing apps in addition to the regular security needed to get into your phone!

Matt Chew should be on FunnyFryday after saying "the Gardai are taking this very seriously".

That comment was funnier than any "joke" (racist or otherwise) you'll hear tomorrow.

How did he take money from his account...any banking financial app on his phone should have some sort of login

The first thing he should have done is go home and cancel everything and change passwords using a computer. Dope

Maybe it is a garda doing the scam

Was this after the rugby? I had the misfortune to be driving in the locality of The Aviva kate on Saturday and the amount of pissed up fans had to be seen to be believed

Joe's trademark sharp intake of breath being used a lot already.

zell12 · 24-11-2022 02:53PM

90% of internet users buy stuff on internet, is that a made-up stat by Joe?

€400k a year and this Buffon asks "how do you know its they"

The girl getting dropped off is obv part of the scam, but Duffy the clown doesn't get it

I witnessed this too caller. 8pm kick offs are a disaster IMO. Too many pissheads at the game ruining it for those there to watch the rugby so to speak.

Mandatory introduction for anyone ringing in to liveline to report a scam is "I don't usually fall for scams"

24-11-2022 02:53PM

Joe hasn’t clue about how hacking, phishing etc happens and how easy it is to clone a website. Later on for fun I will alter Liveline site and send a screenshot back to Joe.

Lisa has left in a taxi

crazy 88 · 24-11-2022 02:54PM

Great production values as always on liveline

ButtersSuki · 24-11-2022 02:54PM

I have a feeling Matt Chew is not telling the full story here. Even if my phone was stolen you couldn't get into any of my banking apps with PIN codes.

squonk · 24-11-2022 02:54PM

De’res a scam going round at the moment sez Joe. There certainly is. A guy is impersonating a professional radio presenter and stealing 400,000 a year from the tax payer.

Is he really as thick as he pretends or is he making himself out to to be at the intellectual level of many cawlurs?

And how does one end up getting into a scam taxi. I'm pretty sure it's hard to get a fake taxi number on the roof. Is it just some lad shouting "taxi" out the window of his toyota yaris?

ButtersSuki · 24-11-2022 02:57PM

Some researcher is getting their ear blown off during the break by Joe for dropping 2 calls in succession there.

steinbock123 · 24-11-2022 02:57PM

Why did Ma’chew have to give the driver the phone in the first place? Does he not know the way to his own house, surely he could have directed the driver?
