Wow, I search and search to find someone whose experienced the same exact (similar) situation I had today. I received a ride request in Evanston, IL - It summons to pick up "Generated" ...I found that to be weird. I was about to cancel it, I do not play games, believe me. So I received a text stating this was a special generated rider that Uber need me to pick up. They request my phone number as I approached the location. I sent a text stating "I have arrived", the rider requested my phone number again. I sent my personal number, and promptly I received a call. I was given the spill "my rating, the number of riders over 8K, and the comments", not thinking - all riders can see this information in the app. - which I don't think anyone cares, so why is it there. Well, I was unable to click the link from the text sent to my personal phone text messaging. The phone number is (323) 321-7996, the guy on the phone was neither of the cultures mentioned in the comment section. He asked me not to click a link from the text sent. I told him I was unable to do so because my internet does not work while I'm on the phone, so I told him I will do it when I get home. He stated he can do it manually for me if that is ok with me....he just needed me to answer the questions sent on this text. The text was from the number above and it was the number he was calling from. I gave him my Uber log in and password, "Sucker, I know better. Well, I am so glad I did not log out of my account as he asked me to, because after a few hours, I did not see this $300 hit my account, I called Uber, and they told me it was a scam. This "rider" changed my log in phone number to the following number (239) 324-0352. I changed it back to to my number and checked all of my information and bank account info..
Good luck out there Drivers, we must look out for each other. Uber did not cut off my account, but they did freeze my payments. I'm "ok" with that but it leave me without income until...
