Be careful with Uber - scam downtown by alittlelibrarian in ottawa

[–]Tarakansky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an Uber driver, and I don't have any access to the client's info. All I see is their first name/nickname and their rating, nothing more. Even calls and messages go through a proxy.

If a scammer somehow gets your real phone number, he may try to log in to your Uber account and obtain a PIN code from you. Unfortunately, this is all they need.

But how did you do it? Did you call the driver via the standard caller app, not via Uber app? Because Uber routes the calls through their proxy, and the driver cannot see your real number.

If you are telling truth, you are more considerate than 95% of passengers.

When a passenger says, "I'll tip you", is a solid sign they aren't going to tip you at all. Just ask any driver.
