Hello comrades....my experience on Monday this week was sad and disheartening, infact I went home for the day on just 2 trips.
I got my 2nd request for the day from Bera Estate @ Chevron destination Navy town, with so much excitement with the hope of suggesting for an offline trip.i got to the pick up point a guy came out holding nylon bag and he hopped at the back sit and he said oya let's go....I told him where sir? He said Navy town and I told him if we can do offline but instead he declined then my mood changes and in my mind no wahala...
Long and short we got to mile 2 with heavy traffic and flood...I was so scared that the car will drink water..we will be in the flood for good 30 minutes with no movement and this guy sat at the back with his two legs on the sit ...making silly calls.
Anyway, he got himself introduced as captain and showed me a picture of his posture with a gun that he served in the North.
Suddenly, he said this traffic is too much oooo..that he would like to come down and continue with bike that he is already running late, so he demanded that i ended the trip which showed us 3,600.
He demanded for my account number which I gave him....the next thing he said that his boy at home will do it that I should not worry, he sent the details to the so called boy...and after like 10 minutes he called the so called boy and he said the network is bad that he would continue trying.
Meanwhile, this captain said he will give me his number so that I can call him for a follow-up.
Low and below I allowed him to go and I was on that mile 2 for 3hrs and more. Then it occurred to me that I have not seen the alert and I even checked my account online nothing.... immediately I called him he said let me call the boy....after 20 minutes I called again....he said I will call you back that he wants to change his cloth..... and I kept calling this line.....no response and the next thing was to block my line......then I now realize it is now done on me...I qickly call my friends to call the line...he pick and after hearing them he will block them ...till this moment nothing has been heard from him and I cannot access him anymore...my 3,600 gone.....Bolt have taken thier commission....
He claimed to be in Navy which I believe....below are his details
Name: Emmanuel Chibuike
Phone number: 08133901891
I am attaching details from Bolt
Please I need this our forum to call him to order and pay the services rendered.

ekehopp:
We just spoke man to man respectfully, and I begged him to deal. He promised to treat before end of the day. He explained the ride was booked for him, and the person who sent him was to pay, and they are presently having disagreements. Nevertheless he promised to sort you today. Exercise a little patience. Then. Thanks

Called him, on hearing I called in regards to the bolt trip he used on Monday. The bastard hang up on me. People no get joy at all.

Mjosh1000:

kupsonrex:

There are stories one would read here, and you cannot help but shake your head in disappointment.

Like Dude,

You can't even buy an item in a random Mallam's shop, and tell him you will send someone to bring his money. He will not let you go even if it's Five Naira.

You guys suffer so much to make ends meet. Don't let anybody steal your sweat because you want to be nice, have 5 star, blah blah blah. Habaa

The issue of Transfer scams have been flogged here many times: Don't accept transfers. But no, for every two pages, we still read about how someone played a fast one with transfers.

It's painful reading stories like this.

If a rider says he's paying through transfer, tell the rider: Sir/Ma, I do not have a bank account. Please give me cash, which is the mode of payment you chose

Even the thief will have no choice than to think of paying you because the scam don burst.

Don't accept transfers
Don't lend money to riders

Don't accept transfers

Compensate Bawo you win some you lose some if you try that nonsense with me I’ll report you, Kilode what nonsense, nobody should harass anybody they paid for their journey, take it as a lesson tomorrow is another day

Mjosh1000:



Someone will come tomorrow with another story how a rider fail to transfer to him.

The issue will definitely reoccur cos newbies that are unaware of this scam will fall victim.

It's so painful naa.

The annoying part is how we carried it out. How can someone tell me he will send his boy to transfer for me, and I'll let him go?

I dey craze?

Drivers should start guarding their pockets well. Uber is even no longer responsible for dubious riders anymore.

Make we wise up abeg. I feel so bad reading this

Felicity0001:

Why feel bad my man? Does a professor beat himself or feel like he didn't carryout his job well because 2 out of 10 of his students failed his exam?

Does a father feel bad for having a Judas among his 12 sons?

Should a mother cut off her breast that the child has polio or jaundice even after breast feeding for 2yrs?

Till today and till tomorrow I still accept transfers but since my last experience in last yr I haven't fall prey again, someone would want to say I never meet a chronic thief. As a matter of fact I've met the once with robber written in their faces yet I still get my credit alert b4 I open my doors.

So my oga don't be surprise because goat no dey hear word unless you kill am.

Captain my foot.
Does that guy knows what a captain mean?
Naval captain oooh... No b Police oh.

ekehopp:
I changed all my shocks for 50k some days back. Camry 03 sha.
Hope I wasn't cheated?

Sorry for d bad experience bro, is part of learning the ropes of the business. Next time offer to take your rider to the nearest ATM if he intends to pay by transfer, if he insist he doesn’t have atm card to withdraw cash to pay u. Your discretion comes into play. It’s either you take the risk or reject the trip. The only approved payment on BOLT is either Card or Cash any other mode of payment is inconsequential.

Now that you have been to Navy town, Am very sure that area has enter your forbidden list
You just learnt a good lesson that will help you remain profitable in the business in future.
Don’t it see as disappoint. Better days are always ahead

The so called captain played a fast one on him psychologically by telling him is a captain and showing him his picture with gun. That alone is enough to intimidate and make someone believe such person can’t be fraudulent. That was why he allowed him to go

Felicity0001:

Why would anyone make you feel intimidated or less a human or inferior for who they're and what they do? How

For you or anyone to feel intimidated or threatened means you are having issue with your self esteem and you see yourself as worthless and just an ordinary driver.

This is one of the major reasons the advice of good dressing and good looking is advised. So who so ever enters your ride should be able to access you and know if they can play a fast one on you or not.

As for me, evennif you're 2baba or Mr president I'll only accord you the respect you accord me meeting me otherwise I give you the way you want it, simple.

Btw, some women's beauty and approach can make someone break his rules ooh... Chai! I'm currently on a trip with one beautiful and respectful woman. She carry food from house enter car first thing she said was "come and eat" with smile on her face. Chia! Local man just weak... We've had like 3stops already with at least 5min each...

I didn't know beautiful women still have good manners like this b4 oh.

Godfather10:


I remember l booked a trip to Namdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, l think N3500, the driver started complaining abt the trip and even had the effrontery to ask me to pay a bit extra. I told him straight, you win some and lose some, you can’t expect to win all the time, then at the end of the trip I gave him a one star, if l was in London l would have reported him for fraud to get him blocked.
l do the job in the U.K. and you dare not make such a ridiculous demand, you will be be reported and blocked straight away, I’ve taken passengers on ridiculous journeys my self in the U.K., and made a big loss on my way back, it’s what it is. We can’t win all the time, at the back of my mind l always have it that there is always tomorrow.’ and by the way l rent the car l use cos l only work in London for 2months every 3months.
The drivers request is ridiculous, despicable and his dispire is absolutely silly.

To stop this case of fake alert or whatever is simple.

Simply go to your bank and request they only send you alert via email and not phone number since we usually have data most of the time and it's impossible to send a fake alert to your email.

Please house, I met a car owner partner and he said I should be delivering 25k weekly, and I'm a new registered Uber driver, I told him that I should be paying 20k but he refused, should I agree with him with the 25k weekly...?
