🚨PSA: Uber Eats Scam🚨

There’s a scam being run on Uber Eats and I got hit.

* Brand new bicycle delivery “driver” acct
* They use GPS spoofing to fake being at the dropoff
* They message you once, then ignore you for 30 minutes
* Can’t call, their phone number is fake
* They mark your order delivered
* Uber support instantly dismisses it
* Can’t call Uber, no phone #

This WaPo reporter was scammed twice and wrote a summary:

Anatomy of an @UberEats scam: Bike courier "picks up" order. They idle @ pick up spot after picking up. 10-25 min later, GPS suddenly shows they're @ delivery location. Order's "delivered" - but nowhere to be found. Here's how it works & why it's bad for drivers & customers

@landonepps This happened to me on Sunday. I have contacted Uber support 3 times and they refuse to provide an email or mailing address for their legal team to receive a demand letter.

@mzagaja @landonepps try [email protected] - that's their head of customer operations.
