Not sure how to feel about this one. It's a shitty crime, but the victim is Uber who themselves don't really respect their rideshare drivers ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I wonder how things like this affect in-app prices for customers though... raising them would be a bigger payout for the scammers, lowering them could result in a loss when customers place normal orders on there
They used stolen IDs to make the fake account, so real people were affected.
They get their money back
Because dealing with identity theft and credit fraud in your name is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
