An Uber driver scam is making the rounds in Colorado
A Morrison woman says she fell victim to the scam less than a week ago. She reached out to Contact Denver7 after seeing our initial story earlier this week involving a Glendale Uber driver who also fell victim to the same scam.“Unfortunately, I need Uber to survive,” Owens said.“I was just out driving like normal. Picked up my order, and was about to pick up my second order. I got a call from Uber. It says Uber in the call line,” Owens said.
“He basically stated that my account was locked. I could no longer get into it, and I had to validate my account,” she said. “He walked me through basically the same push messages that I get from Uber. The same emails I get from Uber. He didn’t ask me for any information. You just plug it in and walks you through how to do it.”“I actually even have a message from the real Uber in the same text from the fake uber so how do you know,” Owens said.
“They basically put a cashout card on my account that was not mine and cashed out of my account onto their bank account,” Owens said.
