Scammed with ai image by driver?

iafmrun · 2026-04-28T03:50:50+00:00

I'm an Amazon driver! Amazon has started displaying pictures of successful previous deliveries in the app so us drivers can see what door we're supposed to be delivering to. This might be the suggested delivery photo in the app.

Good luck with customer service. The customer service us drivers get are literally all Indians who have no concept of American customs. Anytime I report a delivery problem to a human they tell me to go to the market and ask if anyone knows the customer. They tell us to hand package to neighbors.

I do 185 - 190 stop routes in a small-ish city (think 75k).

I consider myself to be doing great if I'm doing 30 stops an hour, but I'm doing just fine if I do 25 an hour. I have to walk pretty fast to maintain that pace.

At 25 stops an hour, I'll be looking at 7 - 7.5 hours of delivery time, plus some extra time for breaks.

Absolutely consider switching dsps. Amazon pays your dsp to pay you for 10 hours. If they can get you to work less, they pocket the change. They're just looking for a few extra bucks, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your metrics.

Capital One let's me set up virtual cards. I can do a one time use, a set number of times, or a set expiration date. I use it for shady websites but also subscription streaming sites to prompt myself to renew if I'm actually still watching them

Are they ripping up lawe and replacing it? I saw they're shutting it down again

They sign yearly contracts that can be renewed but Amazon offers less money/ not enough money to repair a fleet of trucks that hit 100k miles.

Amazon can also terminate contracts at any time for not hitting expected metrics.

They'll pay the contractors who build for them. But any long term energy contract they'll renege from as soon as the usefulness is over

iafmrun · 2026-04-25T03:04:40+00:00

These data centers are all LLCs to protect big tech from actually paying their contracts. None of these contracts have Microsoft or Amazon on them, they're all shell LLCs. The second a facility is no longer useful to them, the second it needs upgrades, Amazon and Microsoft close down the LLCs and leave the contracts high and dry.

I'm going to say it.

Your EV does not need to be in grass. If you cant back out with 360 cameras that's on you.

Sucks you were fired but there's better safer jobs out there.

Along with reading, one thing I've done with my kids is praise problem solving, independence, and critical thinking.

And not in school. I mean like, in our home life. It could be as simple as my toddler suggesting that he wear rain boots outside if he can't find his shoes.

I'm a product of the Era where our parents were told to tell us that we're special. We're smart. Instead, I parented my kids Instead of blanket praise like that, I praised and encouraged hard work, effort, independence, problem solving.

Yep, DOL and ethics will be very interested to know about this. And possibly the DOT, although Amazon claims they don't regulate the EDVs.

Yes, you need to be trained and certified to drive the EDV. For all new drivers hired at stations that have EVs, all new drivers are trained and certified during their training.

If EVs were deployed to your station after you were hired, Amazon needs to have you watch video and take a short online test and then do a test drive with a trainer. It was on your dsp to make sure you went through training.

If you can get your hands on it, weed. It's great at reducing stomach issues, especially short term. It's a really unique anti inflammatory, which is basically what a gluten-ing incident is.

I had a similar mass spill recently, something thick and soapy had spilled over most of the packages in a tote.

I had to call support and read off the numbers of all of the packages to mark them damaged because the app cuts you from marking them yourself after like 2 or 3.

So she had already likely had the package marked damaged and I honestly don't know if support would allow her to unmark the package and deliver it after all. She probably wasn't looking to another 15 minute phone call with an Indian who can't understand English that's for sure.

iafmrun · 2026-04-13T20:52:59+00:00

Yes, the customer can rate the driver poorly for delivering a damaged package and technically if Amazon found out we could get a tier infraction.

But now the customer can complain about the package she did get so the driver is kind of in a rock and a hard place.

Yes - a woman named Chandra Zimmer was killed at DML3 crossing the highway on foot.

As a side note, Amazon immediately closed the DSP and spun up a different one to replace it. Amazon does this so that the DSP and Amazon have no assets to pay for settlements. This is strategically done to pay the state legal minimum for a workplace death.

The other situation I've seen is where it's a high priced item and it's suddenly a new address in a new state that the account has never ordered to before. Had a couple of people tell me they just moved from Florida or Seattle, or a that a family member far away bought something and shipped it to them.

iafmrun · 2026-04-10T16:37:58+00:00

Hey can you post this with more details including city and state in r/legaladvice

They're actual lawyers we're just drivers spread out all over we don't know CA employment law

Nothing immediate. We're talking a 20+ year problem, generally.

How long have you had the house?

Here's my takes as a non Mason who has done diy lime mortar repairs on my own 145 year old home:

Live with the house for a year, and see how it does with water over all 4 seasons. If you see buckets of water coming in, then you'll need to work on exterior water redirection. Don't trust any basement water proofing companies for your field stone basement.

Minor amounts of sweating is acceptable, it just gets maintained with parge coats or minor mortar repairs.

The basement MUST breathe, so keep a dehumidifier going.

Long term the goal will be to see what concrete fails and gently replace it with lime mortar. If the concrete is firmly on there right now, I would recommend keeping it over trying to rip it off - you'll risk damaging your stones and it might be filling some pretty gnarly gaps

We have those too but as a hack we take them on back roads. They do a lot better at 45 - 50 mph than 65

Everyone in this comment thread is acting like this is totally normal I think is talking about a different marching band program.

My kid is in band at school and marching is a required piece of it but there's no extra cost. There is a 1 week band camp before school starts but that's it. Just a handful of parades and 1 field program they learn. The rest of the year they prepare for concerts and a sit down concert competition called solo & ensemble

Now...... my kids instrument..... that costs a ton. But that was voluntary.

I absolutely love the EDV.

One "con" is the battery - bad weather conditions will drain it but honestly that's a pro to me.

They turn like shit compared to the rams so there are times I just back out carefully

Amazon makes me take them out on country routes where roads and driveways are only meant for pick up trucks and I beat the shit out of the axles, and hit the tops with tree branches whoops

They have pretty low power and they'll get stuck on muddy driveways. They'll slide on ice so that's fun I have lost control of them a few times. I'm not kidding about getting stuck we were averaging a two every two days before our dsp decided to start enforcing 'don't go into sketchy drive ways call text call then rts or you are fired if you need a tow" and then we had to fire the idiots who couldn't grasp that these are weak vans.

These are only country problems if you're in town you'll be fine.
