phantom ride charge scam
A rider's account is charged for a ride that never took place — either through account compromise or a driver fraudulently starting and completing a trip without the passenger.
Review your rideshare ride history regularly and dispute any trips you do not recognize.

rideshare account takeover via phishing
Riders receive phishing emails or texts mimicking Uber or Lyft, leading to fake login pages that capture credentials used to hijack accounts and book rides on the victim's payment method.
