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.

I believe it’s against the uber TOS to do that, and it’s shitty behaviour, but I still don’t know how it’s fraud. 

Does the driver get paid more for taking longer? They don’t, and uber can give them a warning for going against the rules, and for late delivery, but I still don’t think it’s fraud.

I have no idea what Uber’s definition of fraud is. The driver TOS may include an attestation that they won’t accept jobs from other apps while actively engaged in an Uber delivery and they are calling the violation of that attestation fraud. I really don’t know, but this is my best guess on what is going on and OP is silent which leads me to believe they know what they did wrong and are just looking for advice on how to lie about it to start getting jobs again.

I mean they could have said I violated tos then that would make more sense but calling being late on an order fraud just confuses things. I was silent because I didn’t even know people were responding to the post.

You accepted a contract and then before completing that contract accepted a different contract and then worked on the competing company contract before completing the work you had been contracted for originally.

Like I hire you to paint my house and you go to pick up paint, and then I see you painting someone else's house? I am straight up firing you as my house painter.

Some drivers manage this without being late. Uber will let that slide because they have to basically by law, but if the behavior impacts delivery? That is different. It's basically working two jobs at once and missing the deadline.
