@nasrin, I would still report this to Uber as they should have record of who you were matched up with. If you had the driver info, say took a screenshot when he accepted your request, that'd be helpful but it isn't required. good luck. I am a driver and we really need to rid of these types of people who don't respect their jobs.
Totally a scam. They drive around for two or five minutes and then hopes for the passenger to cancel, which triggers a cancellation fee that goes into their pockets.
Per Uber's algorithm, they need to be actively driving "towards" you (or else there won't be a cancellation fee), and that's why your drive kept driving in circles near you.
The problem is that we cannot even rate these jerks, because the rating cannot be done on trips that haven't started.
