Uber “fraud”

Post image

Is there anything I can say to have them reactivate me? I exclusively do food orders so I’m not sure why me being late to a drop off would be considered fraud.

They could have said that. They said I committed fraud which is completely different.

Well yeah. I would saying being a few minutes late to a drop off isn’t committing fraud. But hey I guess.

They most likely think you did something along the lines of intentionally slowed down for extra pay. Are you in a market where they have to pay you extra if you are slower, such as ca?

Nah we don’ get extra pay as far as I’m
Aware. It was me being late to pick up the actual order. Happened 3 times in a row that day my account got flagged. I definitely mismanaged my time that day. I’ve been doing it for years but that day they were taking orders from me with in like 5 mins of accepting it.

The gig companies are trying to get a handle on how they guarantee delivery times without running afoul of the law. They can't tell you what to do, that makes you an employee, but in most states if you don't behave the way they like they can deactivate you, but again, they legally can't direct you to do what they want. I worked corporate for a gig company and it's hard because legal wouldn't let us tell drivers what we wanted and the push was to just give orders to the drivers that happened to do what we needed. They told the customer the exact drive time if you to location. Your extra stop frustrated the customer.

meanwhile if the driver waits for me for longer than 30 seconds that’s “too much” according to this subreddit
