Scammers or con-artists can be very clever. Even when you think you’re smart enough to not get scammed, they’ll find new ways to fool you into giving them what they want. They don’t necessarily scam you only for money, sometimes it’s other things like food.
Take for instance, someone ordering a huge amount of food and then fleeing the scene once they’ve received their orders. That’s exactly what happened to this Foodpanda rider.
A video posted on TikTok by user @sokcantikkau recently went viral. The video shows a Foodpanda rider sitting in front of a factory after being scammed by a customer who ran away with the order. According to the video, the rider made a food delivery that cost about RM100 to a customer named Nadia at the factory.
Unfortunately for the rider, the customer ran off with the food without paying. The rider apparently tried to contact the runaway customer multiple times but failed to get an answer. The video has since gained 814.9K views, 88.9K likes and 3062 comments on TikTok and caught the attention of netizens on social media.
Many commented expressing their frustration over what happened. Netizens also sympathised to the rider who is just doing his job and trying to make a living like everyone else. Some even tried to ask if anyone has the rider’s contact information so they can help him earn back the money.
One user commented, hoping that the runaway customer is held accountable over what she did to the poor rider. Another user who also happens to be a food delivery rider himself offered advice to the rider in the video saying, “As a rider myself, if a customer is making payment by cash, wait for them to pay for the order first before giving it to them.”
TikTok user @sokcantikkau posted a follow-up video updating on what happened, saying that they saw what Nadia looked like and that they were surprised they worked at the same factory. So far there has been no further update about the rider or if Nadia paid for her RM100 order.
