Lost your wallet on subway? Don’t pay to get it back, MTA warns
Scammers, schemers and sleazy stealers – they’re all out there and they’re working overtime to come up with ways to get their hands on your money.
Crooks are even going after subway riders who have lost wallets, pocketbooks, iPhones and other valuables on trains.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has issued a reminder to the riding public that there is no fee connected with retrieving lost property.
MTA officials said customers have been complaining to theagency that online searches have directed them to an official-looking “lost property recover” website, which asks for personal information and then uses that information to generate a bill to be paid online by credit card.
