So, if I understand you, all a person needs to open an Uber account that's legitimate would be the credit card number and exp. date .
I believe you, but how do you know that for sure.
And how did you find that out, that's what I want to know.
I posted here many times about my experience and my day drivers experience with stolen credit cards.
It's surprising more Uber accounts don't have stolen cards.
Uber has to pay you for stolen cards so they get screwed.
We have a small number of riders who take trips with fake credit cards. These are known as fraud trips. We are working hard to combat fraud at its source - help us fight fraud together by following these helpful steps.
IF YOU GET A FRAUD REQUEST:
CANCEL IT AND DRIVE AWAY.
HOW TO SPOT A FRAUD TRIP
Fraud trips come from NEW ACCOUNTS, who want to take LONG TRIPS, with NO DESTINATION and who want to be picked up in a DIFFERENT LOCATION FROM THE REQUEST.
1. LONG TRIPS
If the trip is long (3-4 hours) it is probably a fraud trip.
2. NO DESTINATION
If the rider just wants to drive around with no particular destination in mind
3. NEW ACCOUNT
All fraud trips are from new accounts. You can spot a new account because the rider will have 5 stars.
4. REQUESTS DIFFERENT PICK-UP LOCATION
If the rider calls you and asks to be picked up in a different location from the request location, it's probably a fraud trip.
HOW TO SPOT FRAUD:
TRIP LENGTH:
Most fraudulent trips are long (more than two hours).
TRIP DESTINATION:
Most fraud trips have no obvious destination. If riders just want to drive around with no particular place to go, it's probably a fraud trip.
NEW ACCOUNT:
You can tell a new account because the rider will have a perfect 5 star rating.
DIFFERENT PICK-UP LOCATION:
If a rider calls you and asks to be picked up at a different location to where the pin was dropped, it's probably a fraud trip.
If you think you're on a fraud trip:
Feel free to cancel. We will not penalize you for canceling fraudulent trips.
We're there to support you. Let's fight fraud together.
