Uber Passenger Reports Alleged Fare Scam by Driver at Delhi Airport
An Uber passenger at Delhi Airport reported a fare scam where the driver showed a fake screenshot claiming a fare of Rs 1,780, nearly double the actual Rs 885 displayed on the passenger's app. The driver did not end the ride on his app and asked for cash payment before suggesting the passenger raise a complaint for a refund. Uber support confirmed the correct fare and instructed the driver to end the trip, which he did without dispute. The passenger also noted concerns about the vehicle's condition and the driver's recent profile.
