Well they know your first name.
And by license do you mean your plate # ?
Because I don't think they have access to your driver's license.

No, the best protection is to not give out your account information to strangers over the phone or internet. This is 100% foolproof.

So I did some digging. I have a legacy Nick . Woodbutcher has been on the net circa December 1998. I still have contacts in rather questionable #irc channels. Went and asked a few friends about this driver scam.
What I found was this. There's a few older Pax apps that had a failed code that shows the drivers real phone number not a proxy.
They use these older versions to get access.
The rest you provide.

Until someone comes up with an actual hack and gets in to Ubers servers. Or do you think Uber has better security than any of the banks that lost customer info?
So the hacker cannot just switch to his debit card ?
I do not answer any calls that are not on my contact list.
Your dealing with thousands of drivers who are barely literate and challenged by language etc.
I said there was a security breech.
Also when there is a lost item they used to give out your real number.
That happened to me one time, I gave Uber an ear full over that crap. I was pissed.
Also keep in mind many many cell phone users just use the generic voicemail message that is preset by carriers, it includes your phone number. So don't answer your phone and they can get your phone number. Call your phone number and see what your greeting is and any other options given.

Uber clearly States that they will never ask you for your security pin we're just required to take over your account.

No, the debit card is a separate account with a different company with better security protocols
Besides, we’re not talking about hackers, we’re talking about scammers.

I got scammed out of owning and running entire company that was taken over by a guy named Diarrhea, oops I mean Dara.
I need help taking back my company. Who is with me? Join me by providing your name, DOB, address, telephone number, either a credit card number including CVV & expiration date, or a debit card with PIN number for the verification process.
Those cards better be good to go with decent limits or balances. I need funding for my Uber Rebel Army (URA).
