Bolt driver entrusted with money

Sam shared how a passenger gave him $100 (R1.8k) to change for him after he arrived at the man's destination.

He was stunned that the man trusted him that easily, but eventually, he accomplished the task and transferred the money balance to the passenger.

The passenger was grateful and sent him a text message that read:

"Thank you seen!!! Thank you for being a good Nigerian. Let's keep in touch."

Sam's story in part read:

"...The ride was an easy and smooth one, as I dropped them off at their destination he opened his purse and brought out a hundred dollar note and asked if I know where he could change it."

"This corporate brother said he's late for his meeting and they can't go with me and I should help him run the errand, he'd include the cost to the former bill.At this point two things ran through my mind.How am I sure I'm not being played as I can't tell if the money was counterfeit?Why does a total stranger I just met few minutes ago have so much faith in me?" he narrated.

"I hoped for the best and set out to accomplish the task. I was able to locate the Bureau de change guy in less than 20 minutes, and I got a good rate of R17.8 to $1. I called Corporate Bro to ask if he wanted cash or a transfer. He said he wanted a transfer, and I should pay myself and transfer the rest to him. He texted me his account details. I took what was worth my time and service and sent him the balance..."
