More than 10 food delivery riders scammed in Las Piñas City

Several online food delivery riders crowded in front of a house in Pilar Village, Las Piñas City and expressed dismay after they found out they were all scammed.

More than 10 delivery riders were swindled by a certain "AJ Pande" who used a food delivery service app to do the scheme.

According to witness Natalie dela Cruz, who posted the incident on her Facebook account, the person under the name AJ gave different contact numbers but the same address to the delivery riders.

"Nakwento sa 'kin ng mga rider na pinick up po nila sa seller 'yung order ni AJ Pande. Paiba-iba 'yung contact number na binigay ni AJ pero same address,"Natalie narrated.

When the delivery riders arrived at the address provided, they found out that there was no "AJ Pande" living in the house.

"Wala daw pong AJ Pande na nakatira sa [nakalagay na address]. Senior ang lumalabas sa bahay na iyon," Natali said.

This is not the first time an incident such as this happened amid the quarantine period. Last May, several delivery riders and restaurant owners were victimized by a similar scheme  expressed their disappointment. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
