It all depends on other driver's honesty. Some report false prices or just confirm whatever somebody 'reported' before. Just to get useless points and have high rank on useless leaderboard.  

Kinda like made-up stuff on social media to earn click $ ...

But I haven't seen a false report in a Looong time, and those old (out of date) gas price reports are clearly date-stamped.

Better 'Gas Buddy' than nothing, eh !

On a random basis, I started using the 'Gas Buddy' website to monitor gas prices in our area a few years ago, but due to the recent Ever Rising gas prices, I use it Religiously now.

For those who may not be aware ... the use of the 'Gas Buddy' Website is Free, both to monitor gas prices in your area and to participate in the reporting of gas prices.

My question is ... without her account number and pin number, how did the scammers do it ⁉️

I don't think all the facts have been presented here.

Account number can be obtained from one of the cheques drawn on the account.

Don't need the account number to withdraw using the bank card. A bank card PIN can be reset. That's probably why she received a one-time verification code by SMS to her mobile phone.

If the withdrawals were done using her bank card, then how did the scammers get her bank card?

Her bank, TD, has investigated and denied her claim for the losses according to CBC story Winnipeg woman slams bank's decision not to refund her after 'dumbfounding' scam.

At 0:21, it shows one cheque with the cheque number 2277 in the MICR line. At 0:28, video shows a cheque with account number 100999999. At 1:31, it shows a cheque with cheque number 99999 and account number 999999999999.

I doubt any bank would accept the same cheque deposited 21 times through mobile cheque deposit into one account.

In the article it said that the scammer deposited the same $100 cheque multiple times, does this not raise a red flag to the bank? 

I find that odd, too.

I once accidentally deposited a cheque made out to my brother into my personal account. Since he was not a signatory on the account, it was rejected. We had to have another brand new cheque re-issued because I was told that even if I had retrieved the original cheque and tried to re-deposit it into his personal account, the fact that an attempted deposit had already been made, the cheque was somehow marked/recorded and could not be re-deposited in the future.

Good idea ⬆️, Smayer97❗

Would they just send a normal email, or does Interac
have a special Payment Request feature ?

Via your bank site, you initiate an Interac Payment Request with the payment amount desired. A special email is sent to the person, who then needs to select their bank, log in and accept the payment request for the amount shown. Interac then sends the funds for the requested amount to the initiator.
