A Lalamove driver has recently took to Facebook to share his experience of being conned of $350 by a customer.
He received a cash booking from the scammer who added in the notes to ask the driver to help him remit S$350 to the Philippines in return for a S$100 tip.
As he was attracted by the S$100 tip, he proceeded to Western Union to do the remittance to a “CIRIACO JR. DACALOS ABELLANA”.
After he had done the remittance and sent the receipt to the scammer, he proceeded to Marina Bay Sands Tower 3 to wait for the scammer to tip him.
However the scammer went missing and uncontactable.
The scammer also booked another booking from Chinatown to Marina Bay Sands to scam another victim.
The driver eventually went to make a police report.
