Some Grab drivers in Singapore have been caught using illegally modified versions of the Grab Driver app.

A new trend is emerging among unscrupulous Grab and Gojek drivers in Singapore – using bootleg versions of the apps to earn extra income.

The New Paper highlighted the issue after Grab driver, Boon Tat Tan, alleged that some of his colleagues were using modified apps which allow them to cancel rides with no consequence and even deliberately force surge pricing in order to charge users higher fares.
