Kapuso actress Carla Abellana recently took to social media to express her frustration over an incident involving a food delivery transaction that allegedly turned into a scam.

In a brief but striking post, she shared her experience with a rider from a popular food delivery service, Foodpanda Philippines.

"I just got scammed by a @foodpanda_ph rider. Not only did he fail to deliver our paid order, but a supposed second rider called me to say he was delivering our order but I needed to pay COD. Huwow," Carla wrote on her official account.

The actress claimed that after placing and paying for her order, the original delivery rider failed to show up.

She then received a call from another individual claiming to be a second Foodpanda rider, who told her that the same order was on the way—but this time, she allegedly had to pay cash on delivery (COD), despite already having paid through the app.

Carla’s post quickly gained traction online, with netizens expressing concern and sharing similar stories.

Many pointed out the risks of impersonation and the importance of verifying payment methods during deliveries.

As of this writing, Foodpanda Philippines has not released a statement regarding the incident. Carla has not confirmed if she has filed an official complaint or contacted authorities.
