Fraudulent billing is a rising trend hitting Uber riders. Sometimes it is for rides they never got, but increasingly they are billed for cleaning of messes that never happened, often false claims of vomit.

So what happens if there was never any vomit?

Some passengers have to send three or four emails to resolve their complaints. They must tell Uber that there was no incident, and then wait for the company to investigate and, if it agrees, reimburse their money.

Several victims told el Nuevo Herald about their vomit fraud cases.

[...] Vomit fraud is not the only way that some Uber drivers are cheating customers.

Some drivers never pick up the passenger but then charge for the trip. Some combine frauds and report incidents of vomit in trips that never took place.

    Looked like the file was badly corrupted...probably a botched defrag.
