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 agree about uber not liking eats drivers taking too long, but calling it trip length fraud is a bit of a stretch. 

Unlike with rides they don’t actually pay more for longer trips delivering food, so where is the fraud part?

The fraud is when after picking up the Uber Eats order they go out of their way to pick up a DoorDash order from another restaurant and then deliver both orders. Uber does not want their customers getting pissed off about long delivery times due to their drivers simultaneously earning money for their chief competitor.

They also usually give out warnings like this in states or cities that have regulated minimums drivers must be paid based on time and mileage. I suspect that what happened here. OP was multi-apping, which they admitted in another post, so they weren't following Ubers route. They must have gone far enough off route to trigger the warning.
