Decision summary

If you see this, take these steps

Document merchant and rider controls that avoid exposing customers or riders.

  • Verify payments independently

    Do not release goods or funds until you confirm inside your bank app.

  • Escalate suspicious requests

    Use the official support channel instead of replying to the scam chat.

  • Report identifiers

    Send handles, phone numbers, and payment links so TrustOps can corroborate.

What happened

The scammer creates confusion between merchant, rider, and receiver, then extracts goods or money during a last-minute route change.

How it works

The pressure point is the moving rider. Fraudsters exploit weak address verification and real-time refund decisions.

Red flags

  • The receiver changes address after dispatch.
  • The rider is asked to pay a gate, security, or release fee.
  • The buyer insists the merchant should refund before the rider returns.

What to do now

Freeze address changes after dispatch unless the merchant confirms through a known channel. Riders should call dispatch before paying any fee.

What not to do

Do not approve new addresses, refunds, or gate payments only through chat pressure.

Evidence notes

  • Route screenshots, chat timestamps, and fee requests are useful after redaction.

Moderation brief

Document merchant and rider controls that avoid exposing customers or riders.
