Last week, a handful of people in Toronto, Canada, became victims of a disgusting new scam. Officials say it's a four-person operation. Here's how it works:

Basically, the first person follows someone who's just withdrawn money from an ATM. Then when they're not looking, they squirt the victim with a squeeze bottle filled with FECES. (???)

A few moments later, a second person comes along and points out the poo stain on the victim. Then the third person starts to help the victim clean up, while the fourth person secretly robs them.

According to a police spokesman, quote, "It's disturbing and there's obviously security and health issues, and we want to identify who they are and we want to let people know this is what's happening so they can safeguard themselves."
