Toronto police say two men are wanted for fraud after a woman had her debit card switched in a “pizza delivery scam.”
Police said on Friday, a woman was in the Yonge Street and Finch Avenue area when she was approached by two men driving a purple Honda SUV.
The man in the passenger seat got out of the car and explained to the woman that the driver was a pizza delivery person who wouldn’t accept cash, police said.
