I won't be using my cards to pay for a cab fare ever again!!

I noticed an amount of money debited from my account for a cab fare, when I 
hadn't made one in the 2-3 weeks around that particular date. My Credit 
Union followed up on the matter, approched the Sydney based cab company, 
who refused to supply a copy of the voucher/receipt.

I've since learnt that it is a common occurance for credit cards to be 
"skimmed" in taxis.

I got the money back, but I certainly won't be using my cards in a taxi 
ever again!!
