A rider (passenger) requests a ride, they usually claim to be going to posh locations like expensive hotels etc.

The pickup location is now maybe somewhere like Mushin.

In the cases I have seen, the driver gets to Mushin and doesn't see rider (passenger), he calls the rider who now claims he actually wants the driver to pick a parcel for him from the location. The driver should help him collect the item and pay the person giving him N5,000 or more on his behalf. He (the rider) would refund the driver once item is delivered to him.

If the driver falls for this, he will be linked to the second scammer who gives him something wrapped and practically worthless and collects the money.

The driver would drive to the destination and never see the rider. Phone switched-off by now. They have collected your money and wasted your time, energy, fuel, cost you legit trips too.

So, drivers don't lose your hard-earned money to scammers O.

we need to be smarter doing business - it's hard to find people to trust and things as this make it harder...

WHY THIS NA?

Don't just know why things brought to Nigeria with good intentions are destroyed with wickedness...

The other story I heard from Nigeria info was about a lady called Chioma. She boarded the vehicle from lekki or so, she told the driver that she doesn't have cash on her that she was gonna do transfer, the driver innocently agreed not knowing Chiomas intention.

When they got to Yaba she feign that the network was bad, the driver still told her to go and try to send the money when the network is good. Few weeks after she has been mocking the driver, calling him mumu whenever he calls her...

Why are some people like this?

Another driver called to report that a driver was killed at Oshodi too.

Who caused this nation with wicked people self...
