this needs to be addressed

Hello, scammers have gone too far and blood is on their hands. An unsuspecting uber driver was used as a mule to pick up a package and ended fatally. News article linked below. Something needs to be done, the scam call is completely disregarded. Al,l Uber did was ban the account that called the Uber. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I posted about this the other day:

I’m sure Uber is working with law enforcement, but once they find out the scammer is probably in India, Nigeria, or Jamaica I’m not sure there’s much they can do at that point.

Uber needs to do more on their end to vet users before they can use the app. But there would probably need to be legislation to force them to do that.
