A Nigerian man, Deriano, has taken to Twitter to call out Bolt (Taxify), for 'stealing' from him.

According to him, they have consistently debited money from his for over a month now, even when he doesn't use their service.

He has now threatened to sue after he woke up to another debit alert from them this morning, even after he removed his card and deleted the app.

He shared the story alongside screenshots of his bank debits. See below...

"@Boltapp_ng Taxify or Bolt or whatever you call your scam shitty brand now. My God, I’m so mad. One month ago you guys consistently stole money from my linked debit card up to 13k, I ignored because I couldn’t go through all that stress of ing your customer care.

THREAD!

Last week i recieved 6 different debit alerts up to 8k for no reason. Now, i became worried and i couldn’t ignore this time. I have sent Emails, Dms and Replies for a week now, no response. And @Boltapp_ng have been posting tweets on their timeline and ignoring all my messages.

To even think I ditched my @UberNigeria app for this scam company?

A reputable company would have a working phone number that is relevant and active for customer and services. But your line has been purportedly switched off over a week now.

Again this morning I woke up to another debit alert from @Boltapp_ng even after I removed my card and deleted the app.
Now I’m disgusted! And I’m taking it further to another level. Since we are all mad in this country and nothing in Nigeria is done appropriately and efficiently.

I’m definitely going to court to file a lawsuit on Monday. I don’t need my refunds anymore. We have been so neglected and frustrated to be Nigerians that our rights and interests don’t matter to these foreign companies. I will sue @Boltapp_ng so help me God.

I can’t be the only one going through the disgruntlement and incompetence of this company @Boltapp_ng"

So sad Nigeria is going down this low! No iota of trust again.

Even glo is doing me something similar. Glo is one brand that steal mercilessly from you and still punish you with poor service supply.

yikes

MADNESS STARTS WHEN YOU FIND AN EMPTY CHAIR AND ASK IF THERE'S ONE SITTING ON IT!!!

Well, whom else linked your bank card to Taxify?
That's a better place to begin.

Business gone wrong

I believe if he's serious about suing, he might actually win.

On a more serious note, don't give out your debit or credit card details to anyone or any company, if dem no dey collect cash dats der own biz. Thieves everywhere.

Possible guess, he used her card to book a ride on his friend's phone/app and he forgot to delete the card.

Then his friend is using the app to book rides with card payment, not knowing that it's another person's card.




Just thinking out loud

The system isn't working. These companies believe they can do anything and get away with it because Nigeria is already flawed in all ramifications

Hey!!! IF UR ABOVE STEALING, CLICK LIKE. STEALING THROUGH PEN IS INVOLVE.

Whahala!

So help you God. Amen

Sue dem jare and hammer big time

that was exactly what they did to me on Monday, debited money from without taking any ride. I don delete their app on my phone immediately

He should just move all his funds to another functional The greatest mistake anybody could make is link a debit card to a major .

Dude might have ed a clone app...

Anyways, I have trust issues even with my bank. sometimes I don't trust the ATM I always count my money thrice after withdrawal... first count is because I don't trust the machine, 2nd count is because I don't trust those I met there, 3rd count is because I don't trust myself.

Reason why I stopped using my card for any services online... No one can be trusted in Nigeria... A trusted organization today can turn out to be scam tomorrow...
This is inhuman and unacceptable...follow right channels to clear this bro.

Hmm

I did but to uber and before I book a ride, I always choose to pay cash to the driver at the end of the trip instead of paying with card. Anytime I'm overseas, I book uber ride too or Lyft and enjoy the only available option which is card payment. I'm always confident I won't be duped because the system work seamlessly over there. The law too is effective

Monitoring spirit spotted, e be like say nah 3 million plus he get

After reading your experience, I just went to remove my card sharp sharp. To avoid stories that provoke.

But I'd still leave it on uber. Uber is more trustworthy and legit.
