    Hello, I'm Lyft's driver. I'll tell you. Lyft takes 70% and gives 30% to the driver. And when the car gets stuck in traffic, it charges passengers for traffic and gets all the money, but only about 0.45 cents to the driver. And when it arrives, it takes 5 minutes, which also charges passengers a lot of money and gives drivers 0.07 cents. Lyft and Uber need a thorough investigation

    I have had riders cancel the ride in the middle of the ride a couple of times. What I do is find the closest building with an address on it and stop there and say you’ll have to start the ride again and because I’m closest to you I’ll probably get the ride, and you can even sit in the backseat and wait. But I will not take them another inch farther without the ride being turned back on.

      my dumbass called Uber support they said if the rider wants to continue ( because supposedly it was an accident LOL ) to go ahead take them and they will bill them and pay me .. WELL that turned out to be at shit show. They only wanted to pay me from the point to cancel to the point of drop off I had to call three times.. I absolutely will do this next time. Or they can just get out of my car 🤗

    I had someone request a trip last night. As soon as I completed my previous trip I received a call from the passenger. The Uber message says “a call from support” I told the guy right away I knew it was from the passenger, he immediately started cussing at me and threatening me. I stopped and call uber support right away and reported it, meanwhile the rider never canceled and was still pending. I cancelled the trip and Uber says they are investigating the rider, I assume he used a fake address and wasn’t at the location. I did sense change my communication to not allow calls, Only accepting texts with voice reader. That should stop the call scams.

    Oh, and a new one last night, the customer trying to tell me I was marketed as an XL, and I know I wasn't. They backtracked after I showed them my "preferences" and how XL was NOT active. But I caved, even after catching them trying to get a cheaper ride, and cancelled the ride myself... earning nothing.

    My most common scams have been getting a call from rider saying the put in the wrong address and asking me to follow their directions to a new pick up point. The next most common is the have a "ride coordinator" place a thrid party order and having undocumented non english speaking people of a different name and sometimes gender at the pickup point. One time there was a man with "cargo" which included a gasoline engine scooter and all his belongings, and another time a young foreign mother and three infants with no car seats.
    This invasion at the border has brought a new scam.... the "ride coordinator" scam. BEWARE!!!

    I have actually had a few of these happen to me. Lyft and Uber LITERALLY needs to add this exact video to their training video tutorials and pay you a royalty everytime a new driver watches it because it would be worth every red cent for them to do so! I only wish they had when I first started.
    PS: I used your code for the Octopus Rideshare Tablet. Thanks for that too by the way! I’m going to check out your Amazon recommendations later on after I quit driving for the night. Thanks again bro, stay safe out there.

    They told me that they added stop. And want me to go to another location about 1 mile further. They had small kids in the car. Then changed drop off location to return home. Was very tense situation with small children in the car. I sucked it up for the kids.

    I have never encountered the scam of riders canceling before the ride is complete. I believe if it did happen, then the directions for the ride within the UBER app would disappear (I always use UBER directions, not Google Map). In that case I would no longer know where to drop off the rider and thus I would have to let them out. I know you have been confrontational with UBER riders that cancel during the ride and drive them to the police station, but I would kindly ask them to get out and apologize for the inconvenience because it could have been UBER's fault. There is no use in getting upset at a rider for canceling. It is a waste of energy and time.

  • @sumnomeaztim
    @sumnomeaztim Рік тому +6

    I think the biggest scam with Uber is stops. If Uber shows a fare with stops it should show where the stops are at and give you some time to react. I pick up a few people that add stops but its a crap shoot and if you figure out that a few of them are ok where its a quick stop to pick something up on the way to work or way home its ok. What I hate is the people that have figured out that drivers hate multiple stops and just show a pickup and drop off and then when you accept you see them modifying the ride multiple times. Stop to pick up their kid at school, go back home, drop off the kid but throw laundry in the car and go the laundromat, then go to McDonalds, then back to the laundromat, then back home. Kills an hour or an hour and a half and you made 20.00 bucks when you could have made 60.00 just doing normal rides. But once you get sucked in you are almost pot committed. I now just cancel when I see that. Usually never worth it. And those types never tip. I have figured our that the more difficult any trip is the less likelihood there is for a tip as these people are desperate and poor. Uber makes money off them not me. I feel sorry for all these people but they are not my problems, they are Ubers, but Uber wants to make them mine. Not any more..

  • @scarletbegonias2359
    @scarletbegonias2359 7 місяців тому +1

    People who live in canyons where it takes 15 minutes to reach them have a tough time getting an Uber Driver to come get them for a short trip, so what they do is order a very long ride then change the trip during the ride back down the canyon. This steals money from the driver. Uber should pay the drivers to drive to the locations not just from a pick up spot. This is a real problem in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Malibu. Rich people ripping off poor people, go figure.

    I did get hacked over the phone, but luckily I had cashed out the night before and they only got $40. I went straight to uber HUB and they told me that I was the 3 driver of the day. They did give me my money back pretty easily, but I wonder how they would have handled it if it was a substantial amount.

And Uber needs to do a better job at protecting the drivers smh that is BS to be deactivated without proof.

    Common scams? I am close to 19,000 Uber rides. 10 common scams everyday? Wow? Maybe leave the city that is that bad. I can't think of 10 scams tried on me in I have no clue how long. One, I only drive days, sure if you're driving nights you get more BS. But 10 a day?
    With that being said the biggest scam now is Uber itself! They have gotten greedy and don't deserve the rides! Fuck UBER they are getting greedy way too greedy.

      I don't think it means everyday... but the one I get is them trying to cancel mid-ride I absolutely will pull over this time and say if you want this ride to go you better reorder it.
      Because Uber is a bitch and all they will do is fuck the driver over they won't tell us it's a possible scam they will give us our probable pay they want to pay us from the time it was canceled to where we drop them off piss on that I'm not doing that game again that's twice in two years both times turned out to be a shitshow just trying to deal with Uber..

    OK so let me get this right I can’t have anyone in my car but I can go pick up a rider and they can have eight people with them. Something is terribly wrong with this policy. If a person name is not on the pick up, why should I have to pick up Their whole family, I never understood this rule I remember I had a friend in my car when I went to go pick up a passenger and they had six people with them and they reported me because my best friend was in the car but they can have their killer. That’s Uncle in the car with them.
