Food delivery platforms targeted in account takeover scams
Scammers are impersonating DoorDash, Uber Eats, restaurants and customers to target food delivery users, Scamwatch reports. They seek one-time codes, login details, mobile numbers and bank information via unsolicited calls and messages, using the details to take over accounts, change payment settings or redirect money.
Delivery workers are being targeted separately, with scammers gaining access to accounts and redirecting earnings. Workers are receiving messages about cancelled or duplicate orders and asked to provide details to receive compensation. Scamwatch advises users not to click links in unexpected messages, share codes or passwords, and to verify communications through official apps and websites.
