When someone in the comment section advised her to trace the address of the customer through the dispatch rider, she replied:
“The rider said I’ll pay him before he takes me there.”
She added that the bad customer deceived the dispatch rider.
“She gave me different address, then when the rider took off and called her, she redirected the rider.”
