bunmiano:
I've been a member of Nairaland since 2012 and I'm very frequent with the business section.

I have a very serious issue that has been a pain on my neck and I will try as much as I can to summarize everything

I sent a sum of N1m to a Uber taxi driver's account number on the 20th October, 2018. This money was a part payment bill for one of my family members who is battling with a life-threatening health issues. That happened about 4 weeks ago.

This is how the whole thing happened

A friend of mine paid me a courtesy visit and when he was about leaving, I used my rider app to request a ride for him and the driver came and took him to his destination. He told my friend the estimated cost of the fare was N4,800 but my friend didn't even bother to check because he felt he probably would not lie about it.

My friend called and told me the fare was N4,800 and I requested for the Uber taxi driver's account number after which I made the payment. The next day (20th October), I needed to make a transaction of N1m to someone for a part payment bill of my family member's treatment oblivious of the fact that I actually made the payment to the Uber taxi driver's account number. This was because I added him in my beneficiary when I wanted to make the payment.

I went to the rider app to get his contact, only for me to realize he actually inflated the fare from N3,400 to N4,800 which I literally paid for. You can see he's not an honest person but I wasn't really bothered about that.

I called and pleaded to him to refund the 1m I sent to his account. At first, he acted as if he didn't receive any money but after series of calls, he later confirmed it. I sent my account details to him and he promised to refund me on Monday as it was weekend.

Monday came and the dude started acting funny. He would pick my calls and remain silent. There were times he gave the phone to a lady to talk to me. Sometimes he yelled at me to stop disturbing him, and a point, he even stopped picking my calls

I mailed Uber and narrated everything that transpired. They responded requesting for evidence to back up my claim which I provided. I took screenshots of the first (inflated fare) and second payment and attached it to my massage. They responded telling me I should exercise patience and that they will look into my issue

It's been 4 weeks now and Uber has been lackadaisical towards this issue. I have messaged them several times and they seem to be less concerned about it.
With the way Uber has been acting towards this issue, one could conclude that they're trying to cover up this guy. Someone that can easily call and resolve this issue.

They have just been acting like they're more concerned about their own pockets than customer's satisfaction. I expect them to have taken up the issue for properly investigation despite providing solid evidence.

Please everyone! I have tried and I'm already fed up. Their customer care is my last resort but they have been nonchalant despite knowing the name, vehicle type, and license plate number of someone working for them. Even the Uber driver in question has failed to refund the money and has been avoiding me.

I went to the bank recently and his account has been frozen but I haven't been able to get my money

This country is just messed up. Even the police aren't helping matters. They are demanding their own share of about 150k

Lalasticlala, please help my situation by pushing this to the front page

Below are the screenshots of everything

The country is not messed up. On this I can assure you u will get your money back but it may take time. Just report to your bank. If the money is still in his account, it will be held. Otherwise, They'll ve his BVN watchlisted. Involve police when the situation is getting difficult. U can copy CBN CPC on your mail to your bank. U go see swift response.

Toyota is strong but Honda forever. If you know, you know

Gazzuzz is known. Most people with uncouth mouth on social media are anonymous. Some like gazzuzz should not be like that.

The issue is not Gazzuzz. This thing, u will hear the bitter truth that no close person can tell u.

lagostaxiguy:
Yes it's not a crime okay, I don't know your status but if you're married to a woman for 13yrs with 4kids, you should know when she's really concerned about a man hitting on her , to those that have called my wife names just becaue you want to support what GAZZUZZ has said about her, I wish you all the best, I work and live for my wife and children before any other thing. To you gazuzz, you can continue insulting my wife all you want okay, kindly know that if destiny crosses our part, I will not hesitate to waste you if I'm given the opportunity. I will say nothing more. Thanks for all that contributed.

Do not bring all issues to social media. It's a court of public opinion. If u do, be ready to deal with the consequence

Any major issue cos minor issue must dey
Offering 400

Well said Gazzuzz. What I did during the sale of my car is to include it in the change of ownership document that the reg plate no will be returned within 2 weeks from this date of sale to allow for re-registration. Any assets and liabilities on the assets(the car) have been transferred in full to the new owner. Failure to return plates within the said time empowers the seller to approach the licensing authorities to retrieve same.

Keep the original allocation of plate no documents with you. This will be required for retrieval.

Some buyers usually plead for few weeks to arrange for registration

Na my small way of protection.

Is it available? First body ?

Boss, what is the meaning of this decarbonization I see on display on IG? Is it adviseable? Under what circumstance do I need to decarbonize?

Strong word.
I experienced same with bike riders. They beg and prostrate when they need it. Thx for the heads-up.

GAZZUZZ:
I try rental e no work, I try HP e no work, make I just kuku de sell motor.

Gazzuzz, pls I need 225/55 17 ASAP

Gazzuzz is very correct. The drivers are the culprit here. Trying to cut corners to make secret profit.

GAZZUZZ:
Banks use them as their pool cars and marketing vehicles, always never in good shape. Ensure you get to drive it and Inspect properly .

I was at ur office on Saturday. Excellent customer service, solid auto equipments on display and perfect location for the kind of service you offer. That's a massive investment right there. It takes courage n determination to enter naija with that level. God bless your hustle.

Reason for visit is oil tober no fixes. Will like to DM you some information for continual improvement

Can u give me quote for the following;
1. Air filter
2. Inner drive shaft
3. Cabin filter
4. O seal around the engine dip stick

Car is Toyota Camry 2008

When you say engine tune up, what does it mean? Also, what does the engine carbon cleaning I have been seeing on Instagram means? Please educate me

Am suspecting a Sim swap case. There nothing you do when a staff of Telco and bank are involved in a sindicate. They break all supposed controls in place. Background checks and continuos monitoring is key. This does mean a good guy today will not turn bad tomorrow

Contumely:
Please could you elucidate on this.

I do biz online and give my account number to many.

How can one protect and guard against this?

What happened in your own case. We need to learn it.
Be elaborate please.

Well, nothing is impossible. The issue here is, pple who are defrauded are mosttimes economical with the truth.
There is always a point of compromise where login details and authorization codes are compromised.

We should all know that our phones have moved from ordinary phones to mobile banks. The level of protection should change.

Contumely:
Is it possible for someone to steal my phone and withdraw upto 500k from my bank account?

If yes, how and how do we prevent such?

I have been arguing this since with a woman at Onitsha main market who insisted it happened to her husband.

The argument started when she declined giving me a business partner's phone number on the pretext of avoiding 419.

I disagree with the position. No application driving transfers is allowed to consumate transactions without 2factor authentication. Whether hard/software token.

This is being extended to ussd.

On limits, each bank has default limits set on those e-products based on percieved risk mgt policy. While some can be increased based on request subject to a maximum limit.
This position is CBN regulations

NL1960:
It depends on how the application has been designed. Some applications allow you to create a beneficiary in which you use an OTP(One Time Password) sent to you to complete the creation. Once a beneficiary has been created, you do not need a pin or OTP to complete the transfer. Once the transfer is done, the person can easily delete the beneficiary. I could be wrong though. Let the person go to his/her bank. They will be able to get the audit trail of what happened.

Is there a connection the coupon for oil service and oiltober?

Meaning, if I get to do the service - I still get my extra3 quartz

Government after Government built dangote. He will never shut down. The day he threatens Government, his problems starts.

Lordave:
And Dangote can choose to shut down operations and lay off workers, thereby rendering the labor market unnecessarily saturated with unwanted labor force.

How is that good for Buhari and his government?

He used the wrong word. I would agree if he says influential.
One government policy will bring dangote to his knees. That's power right there

Respect

GAZZUZZ:
Oga you have a much simpler way of taking down this engine? Please share so we can learn.

Everything will be put back together better than it came, issawaworko!

Most of una car will not pass test at Gazzuzz workshop. It is clear that the testing center has compromised. Na assumption anyway

darmilolah:
When will Gazzuz be approved as a testing center. I think Nairaland uber community should push for this.

Tnx boss. Appreciate

Boss, pls do you have anyone who deals in the sales of exhaust pipe for Toyota Camry?

Morning boss,
What are the options available for fixing the catalyst issue. My mech is suggesting that they remove it since I am not for replacement. He said it will impact suel consumption a bit but not so much. Kindly advice

Law. I dey laffs. Waht do u do to some who is ready to die?

My position, the religion she did it with has a high level of tolerance. They dint even notice her. I maintain my stand. The other religion no get chill. Either legal or violence, they will unleash immediately.

verygudbadguy:
I don't think there is any section of our constitution that condemns/forbids smoking cigarette. If anybody takes law into his hands, he will rot in jail.

verygudbadguy:
The truth is, some Nigerians can be hypocritical. We have seen pictures of archbishop smoking cigarette. We have seen that of Pastors abroad too. There is no where in the bible where Jesus condemned smoking.

We are just too judgemental in this country. I see that picture as an art. Simple!

NB: I don't smoke and it's a personal thing. If anybody wanna smoke, it is non of my business. Happy Sunday to y'all.

Let her try this nonsense with the other religion, na there she go know say, Photoshop get limit.
U need to understand ur environment and blend in. Elsewhere, this doesn't mean anything but here in naija, u Neva can tell waht the endpoint will be

Boss, I did as u advice but P0420 still staring at me o. I experience slight mis fire at cold start up but normalises after about 30mins of driving.

GAZZUZZ:
