A Nigerian woman has requested assistance after accidentally sending ₦450,000 to an inDrive rider she hired to deliver a parcel to her customer.
The woman ordered the rider on Monday afternoon with a delivery cost of ₦4,500, but inadvertently transferred ₦450,000 to his account.
Read what she said below:
“On Monday, around past 12, I ordered an inDrive rider to deliver a package to my customer, and the fee was ₦4,500. I mistakenly made transfer of ₦450,000 to this guy, and I’ve been trying to reach him.
I’ve texted inDrive. I’ve reached out to my bank. My bank said they reached out to OPay, because the account number was OPay. I don’t have a good response from inDrive. They’ve just been telling me to calm down.”
She disclosed that while attempting to get inDrive and her bank to assist in fixing the problem, she has also been contacting and messaging the rider.
She claimed that the rider insisted that a buddy had registered for the service using the number associated with the inDrive account and that he was not the owner of the number.
“I’ve cried. I’ve been calling him. I’ve texted him. I’ve pleaded with him, with everything. He said no, that he’s not the owner of the number. His friend used the number to open inDrive. I don’t even know. The story is not joining.
“Please, I’m begging everyone to help me. ₦450,000 is a lot. I have my market to clear next month, and this is the money I’ve been saving for the market.”
Online users have responded to the tale in a variety of ways. Some have questioned the rider’s explanation, while others have expressed sympathy for the woman due to the incorrect transfer.
