Description

A scammer used my stolen credit card information to create or access a fraudulent account on the Uber platform and make multiple unauthorized purchases. I do not use Uber, do not have an account with them, and did not authorize any of the charges. I do not have an E Wallet account where my credit card information was stored. I have no access to any Uber or E Wallet Account. The transactions appeared on my credit card across several days and totaled $288.52 in attempted charges. The scammer never contacted me directly. They used a burner Uber account under a name I do not recognize and processed charges quickly before abandoning the account. This pattern matches card-scraping or card-testing fraud, where stolen card numbers are used briefly to make small or mid-sized transactions on platforms that allow quick account creation. I contacted Uber immediately, but the company provided only scripted responses and ultimately refused to investigate the fraudulent account. My credit card issuer placed the charges into their fraud process, but the underlying issue remains that the platform was used to test or exploit stolen card information. This report is to document the misuse of my financial information and to help prevent similar scams affecting other consumers.
