How do you turn off the tap option on your cards? I have never seen that as an option. I guess you have to call? I put my cards in a RFID blocking pouch as well.
RBC gives you the option of locking your cards now right through the app. That’s what I do. Unlock when using, lock when not using. Very quick and easy.
You guys cover this story but when my apartment got broken into and I got robbed for over 25k at gun point u guys refused to cover that 🤦🏻♂️ lol
Really? At least you can afford to live.
Luvie1980 that’s not the point the point is 3 armed robbers came to my house beat me pistol whipped me robbed me tied me up and I emailed these guys and no response lol . I guess rich guy on Bay Street was a more important story lol
Toronto, BIG NO NO…Ugly Messy City…
Real life hustlers.
By the sounds of it with all the plastic this guy was carrying and having a Bay Street office I highly doubt that he will be hurting financially over what to him is probably pocket change.
I live in the 3rd world. My wallet is always in my front pocket. Thieves have attempted, particularly when I travel but I can always feel the hand in my pocket.
Why don’t you move out of Toronto?
$19,000 on what though?
0:04 way to start pal lulz
Happened to me when l filed my taxes. Robbed blind by Revenue Canada in a matter of minutes. I feel for you, buds.
I feel your pain
Reminds me when I went to Rama, I had myself self excluded 2 years ago
I had 2 wallets in my life and lost both. Since I stopped using a wallet, at best I have lost a card or two and they end up being found at home. Easy to replace a card or two than your entire info.
Put your wallet with small chain inside the front pocket. Problem solved.
Likely the thieves were one of your third world immigrants. Enjoy. Eh?
That’s another reason to not use tap…how lazy do you want ur brain to get that you can’t be bothered to enter your own pin yourself.
