Clever Operation: Two Florida Men Arrested For Milking Uber Out Of $1M Through Elaborate Fraud Scam!

Two men from Broward County have been arrested for their alleged involvement in a million-dollar fraud scheme against Uber. According to officials, in January 2022, Blackwood and Morgan allegedly orchestrated a sophisticated scam that exploited Uber’s system. The duo reportedly created fake accounts with phony and stolen identities, using the Uber Eats app. Morgan played the roles of both customer and courier, placing grocery orders under fake accounts, and then accepting the orders himself. Uber, unaware of the deception, would provide Morgan with a preloaded credit card for purchase. The investigation further unveiled that after receiving the preloaded card, Morgan would purchase items worth up to $700 in a single transaction. He would then cancel the order, converting the preloaded credit into gift cards for personal use.
