Wilston:Mr Oga, how can you claim to pay 3k for an 8k trip. Even if you were to report been overcharged, you would at least have paid the 8k else driver no go let you go. Forgive me if i don't believe your story. 6 Likes |

Wilston: Honesty goes along way ,some people will just like to misuse the hard earn opportunity. Why increasing the fares? just because u want to make earn meet. Nigerians will not innovate but will only be finding means of destroying the one available... 2 Likes 2 Shares |

ornicus: I have experienced this on Uber. I didn't realise until about 6 weeks after the trip. Reported to Uber but their response was that they couldn't refund my money as the incident was beyond their one month timeline of reporting cases. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Megir: GPS has nothing to do with the phone quality. As used by ride services, it is simply an app, dependent on software from the company and location data from the Telecom provider. Your phone is not involved in generating the data. It only displays the result of the computation. Any phone can be used to spoof gps if the owner downloads the appropriate software. 1 Like |

olumzzz: It is possible. The driver might accept to collect the 3k knowing fully well the trip wouldn't have been up to that by uber standard of charging. |

The bike rider cheated you by using a fake GPS during the trip, this is not allowed on either uber or taxify, drivers would be sactioned if it is noticed 1 Like 1 Share |

Afiahomes: LOL, myopic minded people everywhere. Because he took a bike to work means he doesn't have a car? You must have been thinking also that anyone that requests uber/bolt doesn't have car. Same Gazzuzz that repairs cars, sells cars, sells car tyres. As popular as he is here? 6 Likes |

IamaNigerianGuy: well i agree with that , the question now is , is it good enough to penetrate backend system of OPay? |
Re: "GPS Spoofing By OPAY Riders: My Experience" by holuphisayor(m): 2:14pm On Oct 05, 2019 |
I'm curious to know what people call GPS spoofing in a bike sharing app. Last time I checked, the distance can be computed by the lat/lon of the pickup and destination. So, did the bikeman also send its computation to opay backend? or the rider dropped at a wrong location? |
Re: "GPS Spoofing By OPAY Riders: My Experience" by peeps4u: 2:14pm On Oct 05, 2019 |
IamaNigerianGuy: Phones actually have to do with it. Uber and bolt have specs of the phone they allow. No techno or infinix is listed by them. |

GAZZUZZ: Now the scam begin. Every business in Nigeria is designed to exploit the citizens, MTN, Airtel, DStv, Gotv and more are seriously on it our government keeps silence. |
Re: "GPS Spoofing By OPAY Riders: My Experience" by IamaNigerianGuy(m): 2:17pm On Oct 05, 2019 |
shegzhkn: Yep. It's just data. The data is faked and transmitted. Server side code simply interprets what is sent. I guess if it becomes a big enough issue, the app owners will find a way of authenticating the GPS data. Right now, it's not obvious that they do. |
