Guys. My uber driver account was scammed. Someone fooled me and I was such a fool to share the code as it looked that Uber is asking for the code. I have contacted Uber through email and they told me that account has been compromised also they told me that my bank account information has been changed. However, Uber have been sending me link to reset the password but scammer has registered his number with 2 way authorization and I can’t reset it. I have $700 in my wallet, I do not know what to do at this point as Uber is not understanding and keep sending me the link. Can anyone please guide me what can I do? And how to get my money back from uber? Will I get my account back?

Make sure you contact Uber. I know it’s nearly impossible to get ahold of them, but I was scammed and lost over $400. Uber gave me the money back, even though they can’t recover it. I think is stupid that Uber doesn’t do anything to warn us of these ongoing scams. They send us messages nonstop about all kinds of garbage, but are completely silent on this.

Hey. Can you tell your experience how did they give money back? I got scammed today and lost $750. I have tried emailing Uber but it’s Christmas weekend. I am planning to go visit green light hub on Monday. Can you please guide through how did you get money back?

Recieved a trip from UBER VIP and messaged that this is a US embassy official and need to verify your Uber account for security purpose, I never thought that it’s a scam and got my account hacked. Luckily I don’t have any money for cash out.
This is the first time in my 5year Uber driving, emailed and called the support still no updates.

He was told to contact support in the first couple of replies, my brother. Nobody in the Toronto forums can help any further than that. They’ll probably all just reply with, “Sorry”.

AAAAND Uber told him in the message API to NOT DO WHAT HE DID.

Someone/s experiences it every weekend and then create a new account here asking for help.

Contacting support is the only help they can get after voluntarily giving an internet stranger access to their money. And that’s that.

Yes. It is most definitely NOT “post in the Toronto forums to see if they can help you more than contacting support.”

Well thank you for your nominal interest and indifference... You were absolutely no help whatsoever... And contributed nothing...

Go chase some surges...
