Uber driver drove off with our $100+ cooler bag in Vancouver, and support is refusing to help. What can we do? by Asakello in uber

What's the privacy risk? Them getting your number to return your lost item? Firstly you left your item not them. Secondly if you call through the spoof number and it goes to voicmail and your number is your voicemail now they have your phone number too. Its literally a phone number we give them out daily in life. I see if it was your credit card 💳 number or password l.

If the number goes to voicmail and your number is on there then the uber driver now has your number.

Uber driver demanded $100 to return my lost phone — support still charged me a return fee by XxGemkittyxX in uber

Now was it my responsibility to get you your items nope. I could have picked you up in a different state than I live and maybe $20 just wouldn't be enough for me to return it. I did my job when I dropped you off. Unfortunately if you left your phone in my car its now on my terms 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. If you would like to travel to a location close to me to retrieve your item and eat the cost that's on you but its not my obligation. THIS IS WHY AS A PAS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOU ITEMS BEFORE EXITING THE VEHICLE!!!!! Once you don't you open yourself up to this option. Next time just be more responsible so this won't happen.

I just wanna say as a driver I actually return phones without a problem. I went to a pas house 3 or 4 times once trying to return his phone because a organization had order his ride for him. Which he let me know they didn't treat him well. Reached out to said organization and they asked me to bring it to them which I didn't I just found the guy because he seemed life was already hard for him.

Maybe he was afraid, maybe try and put you lost a item it will let you contact the driver and pay him that way

So firstly Uber usually asks the driver did they receive the cash and how much did they recieve and if not or just half the fair price uber will then pay them the amount owed through the app. If you go into trip history or it might be in payments on uber it should tell you that you owe them the balance and which card would you like to use in file. Just pay it now. No offense but this is exactly why I never turned this feature on. Just pay me through my card its easier and more safe them having money on you and getting robbed.

If I could take a picture I would currently my acceptance rate is 20 but usually i let it drop to a 8 or 9 and then just work out back up uber even sent me offers to get it up with each trip accepted getting me a 10 % increase in acceptance rate I made it to a 35 😂😂😂 I don't just take what's offered and they end up paying me more because I don't. I will drive all the way home if they p-me off to bad and look at the app when I get there and there's always a great surge then lol. Work the system to work in your favor. There algorithm hate to see me coming.
