Hello, Hive Delivery Riders!
Today, I will share with you my experience regarding fake booking; this is one of the worst case scenarios by which riders are into serious campaign on how to completely avoid scammers and hackers. However, I think these culprits are wiser because they can still get on peoples' nerve. Still we are fortunate because our experiences will teach us how to be more cautious next time to avoid fraud people.
Because there are people who enjoy annoying us, we food riders are their favorite ones who are seriously working hard for our family. This is such a problem for us riders because, besides the fact that we pay at our own pockets at the store, whenever the customer has not engaged in a grab pay order, then when we get to the drop-off location, in order to deliver the food items but the customer didn't respond to my chat anymore, so what I did was to ask for the house that was pinned in the location politely as usual despite the impending possibility that I unfortunately met a scammer again, and I asked if it was T.... Manto's house, and the answer, was yes. (This was one of my experiences.)
I'm a bit happy then knowing that it was not just the exact location but also the name was right. However the bearer of the name declined the order because according to her, she was not ordering food items online. She added that this has happened many times almost every day there is a food delivery at their house named after hers and even before they transferred house in other town, where they used to live, there were many riders who would deliver food, the reason for those orders was her former lover who was a lesbian who happened to be in a grudge of their broke up.😅 (Ug sa tinood lang ..kami nga mga riders mapahimungtan intawn.)
I found out that she was telling the truth, because while we were yet talking to each other, two other Grabfood riders came and they still have the same orders as mine and that's why we immediately reported to the admin of grabfood the same account so that it will be blocked by the admin and will not be able to order again.
The Benefits and Drawbacks of Fake Booking
BAD SIDE: Because this order was not pre-paid online, I paid at the store, and then because they didn't pick up the food, I didn't receive any payment, and I didn't have enough money at that time to accept another booking. So I just went home with the food.
GOOD SIDE: You might ask that there is a good side😅 yes, we are the ones who eat the food hehe because we are the ones who buy it, the grabfood system as long as we reported it as a fake booking, grab will return the amount of the same order to me in 24 hours that's the good side we were able to eat and then return the amount of money to my grabapp. Before I came home, I looked for homeless people, gave them the same food, and left enough for my family.
Announcement.
Friends, if you have any experience with delivery riders, be it food or parcels, etc., as long as they are related, and if you are a customer of this who has experienced good and bad, I encourage you to share your experience too.
That's all for today. See you on my next blog. God bless.
