L4sBotBSO: 2 men scammed UberEats out of more than $1 million
MoobythegoldensockFrom what I can gather:
- Scammer A would put in a massive grocery order, up to $700
- Scammer B would immediately accept the order
- Uber would authorize a credit card to Scammer B for $700 to purchase the order items
- Scammer A would cancel the order
- Scammer B would buy a $700 gift card before Uber canceled the credit card
- They kept going using fake and stolen accounts until they got caught
Good scam. I wouldn’t have thought of this.
Not a very good scam when getting caught is pretty much inevitable.
Probably could’ve gotten away with it if they only did it rarely, but it sounds like they just went crazy with it.
