Ola is a scam
Ola Cab is a scam.
I ordered an Ola on Monday 1.30pm, which arrived within 10 minutes. The trip was from Remuera to Greenlane Clinic Centre, a distance of 4.7km. Ola has the offer of $5 if the distance is less than 5km.
I was charged on my credit card $15. In asking the driver who I could complain to, he responded that the company operates from India. Later that day I received an account email from OlaCab the trip was $11.37, Booking Fees $0.48, Ride Advantage Fee $0.52, a Total bill of $12.37.
Ola did not refund the difference between the $15 charged and the $12.37 bill emailed. My telephone call to Ola went nowhere.
My conclusion, it’s a scam. Be aware. Have you been disadvantaged?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
