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.
