Delhi Passenger Reports Uber Driver Allegedly Demanding Double Fare Using Fake Screenshot
A Delhi passenger reported an Uber driver attempting to charge nearly double the fare for an airport ride by showing a fake screenshot claiming Rs 1,780 instead of the Rs 885 displayed on the app. The driver kept the ride active on his app and asked for cash payment upfront, suggesting the passenger claim a refund later. The passenger contacted Uber support during the ride, who confirmed the correct fare as Rs 885 and instructed the driver to end the trip, exposing the alleged scam.
