Debt-ridden ofo entices users to add credit, invite friends to have deposit back
ofo推出“拉好友退押金”功能,网友:为了99元还得拉朋友入坑
The debt-ridden bike-sharing platform ofo reportedly asked users to add credit or invite more friends to use the app in order to get the deposit back without waiting in line.
“Get 2.5-yuan deposit back by adding more credit.” “The more friends you invite, the quicker deposit can flow back to your account.” Such advertisements have triggered widespread controversy among Chinese who had a hard time retrieving their deposit back from the ofo.
曾经满大街的ofo小黄车,如今已很难见到,但因为押金问题,仍时不时出现在大众视线里。
11月20日,ofo因推出拉好友帮退押金功能登上微博热搜。网友发现,除了“邀请好友,帮你退押金”外,还有好友下单奖励、充值退押等功能。
退还押金本来是消费者的合法权益,ofo却“花招百出”、“百般阻挠”,引发网友调侃。有网友表示,为了99元还得拉好友入坑?
