Hi Guys, This is my experience today.

grab is my part time job. today i start my grab journey at around 4pm. at the 4th job i got is pick up at cheras and head to nilai for RM117. so i think it's a good deal i just take it. it's a malay guy who can speak very fluent english and claim himself working as manager in an event company. he really look educated and his english is very good so he got my trust and i didn't think much about scamming or cheating. he keep on chatting while we on the way to nilai, and he keep talking about his fiancee like it's so real. he also told me that he borrow his car for his fiancee thats why he got no car and have to take grab, so his fiancee will meet him at jaya grocer nilai for dinner and pick him up. when we reach nilai jaya grocer, he say he tell me got no cash with him and need to get from his fiancee first. so i trusted him and let him go and get money because there was a quite alot people standing at the mall entrance i tot one of them is his fiancee, but then he slowly walk away and by the time when i realize he might run away, he already disappear from my sight. when i call back the number that he used to book grab, it's own by a security guard work at where i picked him up, and the security guard don't know this person. he just helping him to book a grab as the scammer told the guard that his phone run out of battery

so what i actually want to ask here is.. how do i report this to grab? because i don't get pay but grab still charge me for RM28 from grabwallet. (25% comm for grab)

its a very bad day for me, first time got into this kind of trouble myself.

if those who curious, my loss was total 110km and 2hours of drive go and fro, RM10 tol and RM28 grabwallet.
roughly RM70. but the main thing is i so pissed at myself why so dumb.

lesson of the day: never trust anyone no matter how well they look and how well they speak.

I'm sorry for what happened. Glad you're not hurt though.

So you wanna be racists? Then it's not gonna help you either. You think an Indian or Chinese passenger wouldn't do the same to you?

My advice would be, don't trust anyone. Be sceptical. This way, you'll be more careful to not let your guard down even to your own race.

If you have the money, spend RM 700 or less for a Transcend DrivePro 520 or 550. This dash cam got 2 camera, one facing the road, one facing the cabin. The one facing the cabin even got infrared light so it still can record with enough clarity at night. YouTube for video sample. Don't get the cheaper knock-off AnyTek brand.

Hope this helps. Drive safely and take care.

Sincerely from your Malay Grab driver since November 2015.

If Malaysians wanna continue being racists, pakatan would not have won the ge.
