What is the "Uber 'Payment Failed' Cash and PIN Manipulation" scam in Puebla?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some ride-hail drivers complete the trip, then claim the in-app card payment 'didn't go through' and pressure you to pay cash or to re-enter your card and PIN on their phone or a card reader. The captured details are then used at an ATM. A linked tactic is the driver cancelling the in-app trip mid-ride and demanding a cash 'street price'. Keep payment inside the app and never re-enter your card or PIN for a driver; the app handles billing automatically. If a driver says it failed, end the ride, report it in-app, and never agree to go off-meter to a 'cheaper' cash arrangement.
