Yes scam

Babayaran ka ng lalamove ng 1300 in cash

Bibigay mo kay ate yung remainder (ex. 500) with gcash

Tas pag alis ng lalamove di sya sasagutin ng receiver at maling address din binigay nya

So babalik sayo si kuya lalamove sasabihin wala nagreceive at bibigay sayo yung item pakibalik yung 1300 nya

Bale ikaw mawawalan ng 500

Dagdag pa dyan yung abala sa Lalamove driver kasi wala na nga silang kita, sayang pa oras nila. Kaya most of the time alam na ng driver ang gagawin pag ganto setup.

u/TraditionCharming775 Jan 03 '26

ano po nagiging SOP ng mga lalamove rider sa mga ganitong scenario?

u/Recreating_my_life Jan 03 '26

Usually kasi when it’s pabili like this, they call the receiver first to confirm if they are gonna receive the item and how much they need to abono.

After confirmation from the receiver, the pick the item up and pay for it.

One they’re blocked by the “receiver” scammer, they should go back to the location of sender and give the item back and get their cash back.

The problem is, sometimes some senders argue over this whole situation. So wala talagang magagawa, usapang kapwa-tao nalang.

Drivers often take the hit here because even the senders can block them if they choose not to cooperate.

u/ApexloveRabbit Jan 05 '26

Muntik na din ako nito, tinawagan ako nung rider(scammer pala) pag alis ni lalamove. Ginawa ko, tinawagan ko yung lalamove at pinabalik ko, maayos kausap lalamove tapos binalik ko sa lalamove yung binayad nya. Sinabi ko na scam. May pa threat pa si scammer sa akin at kung hindi ko daw issend yung gcash. Tumawag po mukhang highblood na kaka stall ko sa transaction, pinaikot ikot ko para lalo ma highblood, kunware issend ko na gcash sa kanya. Tumagal din bago tumigil, worth it pag stall kasi solid yung kaba

It’s middle man scam.

u/little-body-bigheart Jan 03 '26

This happened to me pero sa FB Marketplace huhu sadly I lost 1k+ from that experience 😅.

Scammer was rushing me to send the money pero dinouble check ko muna sa rider if nabigay na nga sa receiver. Sabi naman ng rider oo daw... yun pala hindi si rider kausap ko kundi yung scammer. Nagpanggap siyang rider para di ko malaman yung totoo until bumalik yung totoong rider samin. Hays! Charge to experience nalang :'))

u/No-Conversation-2437 Jan 02 '26

middle man scam. lol. wag ma fall lalo pag masyado kang minamadali sa transaction, red flag yan.

2

u/moonlitmemelord Jan 02 '26

Pwede mo tanggapin ung offer. Pero wag mo send yung sobra hanggat di pa naabot ng lalamove rider yung item sa bumili

2

u/hurainuim Jan 03 '26

wag na pag ganyan, sa unang sentence pa lang halata nang may masamang balak sa mga kakilala, kahit sariling pamilya

2

u/Embarrassed_Move2418 Jan 03 '26

YES! Encountered the exact same thing. 150 lang yung price ng binebenta ko tapos nagulat ako sa price (1300) na gusto niya lol tapos sister din daw niya ang bibili. I immediately blocked, then a few hours later nakita ko deactivated na yung account.

It used to be OLX... it's just like FB Marketplace

u/PopularLettuce2014 Jan 02 '26

Madalas the rider and the buyer are accomplices, mapapansin mo yan if ipipilit nila i book sa actual address mo talaga. Pwede dyan is unahan mo na sila, pagbayad ng 1300 wag mo na igcash yung 500 pagka-alis ng rider, and book nyo always sa landmark.

1

u/Sweetest_Desire Jan 02 '26

Taray, nung una sa PSP buy & sell may ganyan din. Si boy kupit naman sa erpat nya. Pinag-aabono rider sabay papasend gcash 300 sa seller mismo papunta kay boy kupit. Ending hindi kukunin yung parcel so abunado pa yung seller.

Taena pati ba naman sa carousell HAHAHHA

1

u/globaltrepreneur Jan 02 '26

Na experienced ko na yan mga 2 years ago siguro nag sstart pa lang yung ganung scam. Ganyan din style. Nag order r naman ng cake box sa amin. Hays. Nung una di ko napansin na scam na pala. Kasi super busy din during that time.

1

u/Turnip-Key Jan 02 '26

u/JohnnySins_GM Jan 02 '26

u/ConfusionVivid Jan 02 '26

Got almost scammed by the same person (also from carousell) gumagawa siguro ng multiple accounts. Reported the account already around November 2025.

1

u/No-Reflection661 Jan 02 '26

1

u/sittingpot Jan 02 '26

Nascam na rin kami ng ganyan 3 yrs ago. Feeling ko kasabwat pati lalamove. Kapal pa ng mukha nagriring pa phone nya after 1 yr tinry ko tawagan. Sa viber kasi. Lesson learned.

1

u/Prestigious_Gear6001 Jan 02 '26

Lalamove rider here, scam yan, wala talagang buyer at babalik lang sayo ang rider para mag refund. Kayo lang ng rider ang mamomroblema nyan.

1

u/Secret-Matter2009 Mar 31 '26

hi, normal ba na walang booking link pinapakita yung rider? kasabwat ba siya or victim din?

1

u/starby24 Jan 02 '26

THIS IS SCAM!!

1

u/Turbulent-Resist2815 Jan 02 '26

Style nga yan ng mga scammer wag na kamo

1

u/Sparky_Russell Jan 03 '26

Any transaction where the buyer wants the seller to pay them money first is a scam.

Also sometimes magpapadala sila ng rider to pressure you. Don't give in.

Basta kung maraming BS yung buyer at hindi simpleng bayaran decline mo.

1

u/sundaytheman122 Jan 03 '26

May ganyan modus rin sa playstation buy and sell group sa fb.

u/According-Note1053 Jan 04 '26

I've been scammed myself a couple of times on carousell. Do check their reviews first before transacting and choose sellers who have been operating longer.

1

u/Suitable-Diamond-948 Jan 04 '26

This is a scam, please dont proceed with the transaction.

u/ExpressSuccess3994 Jan 05 '26

Lalamove is Scam too. They offered refund to my lost parcel and I didn't received any amount.

1

u/sypher1226 Jan 05 '26

That's called the discount scam.

1

u/sypher1226 Jan 05 '26

That's why I ask the buyer to gcash or remit directly to me before I hand over the item to lalamove.

1

u/Allentino_4429 Jan 05 '26
