Iain McHenry was visiting Miami from England when he booked a $9.07 ride to his hotel on the evening June 4, only to wake up the next morning to find that hed been charged $252.05 for the seven-minute trip. It turns out that the driver had continued on to Port St. Lucie 115 miles away, then returned to the hotel hours later before ending the fare. McHenry told SWNS that Uber initially refused to refund the fare when he challenged it and only agreed after he sent the company data from the Google Timeline feature on his phone that showed that hed been in the hotel during the duration of the cars journey up and down the coast. "I believe the driver targeted me as a tourist," McHenry said. "Considering where he was dropping us off, and our accents, I think he knew what he was doing." The large charge also overdrew McHenrys debit card account, and Uber told him it wont refund him the $13 bank fee. He said hell unlikely use the ride hailing service again. Uber told SWNS that it has suspended the driver and is currently investigating the incident. https://imgur.com/NqPVUQz Is there no end to this company's sleazy business practices? --- ()_() Hardcore - We'll probably be modded for this...

Fraudulant charges that make an account go under are supposed to be waived Yeah but Uber can't waive that. They didn't charge him that money, that was his bank. If he takes like 20 minutes to call his bank I'm sure they'll sort it out. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:904933312] in Man charge...
