Pls be cautious when booking Tada Rides!
Booked a Tada Ride from this driver Mr *name redacted* today. Unfortunately, I left my laptop in his car.
I tried contacting the Tada Driver Mr *name redacted* to ask him where he is so I can collect my laptop from him.
To my shock, he asked me for money. He asked me how much I’m willing to pay him for helping me to “ Safeguard” my laptop & for his ”Time”. I said I’m willing to come over to his place of convenience & pay him $10.
He complained ”so little” , he gave me his Handphone number to contact him when he think of how much I should pay him. That’s blackmailing & holding my laptop ransom !
He knows I need my laptop for teaching tomorrow morning & said if I don’t pay him he will only drop my laptop to the police post when “ he is free”
Mr *name redacted* even open my laptop bag as he specifically told me what’s inside my laptop bag.
I contacted TADA Singapore about this and the Tada specialist Mr Weijie only tell me to “ make a police report”
I call his Handphone twice, only have him telling me “ you give me money $100 , then you will have your laptop back. Your laptop is expensive, you should pay me money for safekeeping your laptop .” He never even wanna share with me his whereabout so I can travel over to him collect my laptop.
My last call to him, Mr *name redacted* finalised on $50 “ for safeguarding laptop fee” if not he will take “his own sweet time” to drop my laptop to a police station with no guarantee everything inside my laptop is safe.
I’m very disappointed with Tada Singapore service with their only response to me, what the driver did is wrong , pls proceed to make a police report.
Any advice what I should do ?
*Update: I’ve filed a Police Report against TADA Driver Mr *name redacted* for attempting to extort money from me by holding my laptop ransom.
I had given him many chances. From 4pm ~> 8pm, this TADA Driver refused to share his whereabouts for me to travel over to his convenience to pickup my work laptop unless I pay him his “Safeguard Laptop Protection Money $$$”.
If I don’t pay him money, he will make sure I don’t have my teaching laptop for work in the early morning sadly
