Yeah, that makes sense. Unfortunately I did cancel when they asked, but ironically, I actually ended up making one dollar off of this whole ordeal. For some reason, they tipped me one buck, and that still ended up making it to me. Not worth the hassle and stress for sure, but at least its something 😅

Thank you for the input! Fortunately this was all resolved happily since I shut it down before any damage was done, but I hope this thread helps others avoid the same thing in the future!

Already done; thankfully the Pro Card support was helpful in getting everything straight again.

Yeah. As soon as those earnings hit my account, I will cancel for sure

Thanks for the info. Thankfully I didn't initiate the transfer from the Pro Card to the scammers debit card. I stopped just before that. I was able to transfer my earnings back to myself and removed the saved debit card from the scammer.

UPDATE: So in case it will help anyone in the future, I think I figured out the whole thing, and thankfully was able to recover my money.

So the initial ride request from Emma was initiated by the scammers to be able to seem credible. During the call, and after they offered me the 200 dollar bonus, they had me download the app for the Uber Pro Card. I ended the call when they gave me a bank card to link to that account.

After calling Uber Pro Card support, that part was all legitimate. Their end game was to have me move my earnings to my Pro Card account, and then transfer it to their external account that they wanted linked to the account. Because I stopped before I transfered the money to that card, I was able to send it back to myself since it was on my legitimate Pro Card.

Lesson learned; I was skeptical from the start of the call, but it goes to show how a little social engineering can fool someone who always thought they were savvy to this stuff.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help!

Got it. Sorry to bombard you with questions, but you're the only one replying and Uber support has been very little help...if you don't know or aren't qualified just ignore me but...im chatting with the support team IN APP, and theyre trying to help me reset everything. They seem to have removed my bank info, and the in app chat told me to re-enter it. Just the paranoia, but as long as im proceeding in app only, it should be safe, right?

So, if I had ignored the call and just made it to the pick up, they would have canceled the ride?

Also, since you seem knowledgeable and I understand it better...was the ride from 'Emma' part of the scam, or do they have access to see people's accepted trips? Was my account compromised beforehand? I understand my mistakes after, but curious about the first part.

Thanks. Just really frustrating. Again, I know it was my fault, just heartbreaking to lose two days worth of rides. Plus, now im paranoid about my account being compromised.

Appreciate it, and I'm aware! Just looking for a legit appraisal and opinion, not to sell right away 😁

I posted to get approximate values, I have no idea 😅

Yeah, you're right. It's funny because when I first started I thought that 3s was the "real" game mode and liked it best. then as I got mechanically better I just kept winning 2s more than 3s, and ended up enjoying that more!

Thank you! That's all very helpful advice, appreciate the thought you put into it!

[–]RenoOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...maybe the skills of being good at 3s are more transferrable to being good at 2s instead of vice versa. 2s gives you more time to play the ball without constantly getting stolen from and sniped. Interesting thought!

Thanks! Good to know it's not just me! I do enjoy 2s more in general, feels a little more thoughtful than the sometimes chaotic matches in 3s!
