In a rare and eye-opening confession, a former “one chance” con artist has come forward to reveal the dark secrets behind the notorious scam that has plagued unsuspecting passengers for years.
Having turned a new leaf, the repented man now wants to expose the cruel tactics used by him and his gang to rob innocent people of their valuables, in the hopes of warning others and preventing future victims.
The man, explained that “one chance” operations typically involve a group of con artists who disguise themselves as legitimate taxi drivers and passengers. Their primary goal is to lure unsuspecting individuals into their vehicle, making it appear as though they are simply offering a ride. Once the victim is inside, the con artists spring their trap.
“The trick,” he revealed, “is to make the victim feel comfortable and safe. We would chat them up, talk about normal things like the traffic or the weather, anything to make them let their guard down.”
Once the victim is relaxed, the operation swiftly turns sinister. The former con artist explained how his gang would work together to isolate and overwhelm the passenger. “One of us, pretending to be another passenger, would start asking suspicious questions, or we’d bring up a fake story to get them distracted,” he said. “Meanwhile, the driver would take a different route, and before they knew it, we’d pull out a weapon or threaten them, demanding their valuables.”
In some cases, the gang would go to extreme lengths to intimidate their victims, often resorting to physical violence or psychological manipulation to ensure compliance. The victim, frightened and outnumbered, would have no choice but to hand over their belongings—phones, wallets, jewelry, and anything else of value.
The repented con artist admitted that the gang was well-organized, with each member playing a specific role to ensure the operation ran smoothly. “We had lookouts, decoys, and even people who would monitor the victim after we dropped them off, just to make sure they didn’t immediately report us to the police,” he confessed.
Now, having repented from his life of crime, the former con artist is using his experiences to educate the public about the dangers of “one chance” scams. He urges people to be vigilant when hailing taxis, especially in busy urban areas where these con artists are known to operate.
“Always use reputable taxi services or ride-hailing apps, and if something feels off, trust your instincts and get out of the situation as quickly as possible,” he advised.
His story serves as a stark reminder of the risks posed by “one chance” con artists and the importance of staying alert.
