Fake Uber Account With My Name

[digitprincess]

It seems that somebody created an Uber account using my email and phone...I've got some confirmation codes both on my phone and Gmail, but I never use Uber. This is very strange and I don't know why somebody would want that. Maybe someone had an issue like that?

Can you log onto the account and see what name is being used and if there are any payment details?

Log in and close it down

pay attention to you have been hacked and change all your passwords.

It could be somebody has the same gmail address as you but with numbers/different numbers in it.

They may have made a mistake and thus you are getting their emails.

It happened to me - my gmail doesn’t have numbers, but somebody else does. She created a Facebook account and signed up for a conference - but forgot the numbers, hence I got the emails.

A simple forgotten password request let me in to close the Facebook account, and an email to the conference venue to let them know - person and venue were in America!

Thank you all for the advise! You were right, I managed to login and close the account, it was indeed the most logical solution.

I also found an article (chat) about the issue that advised pretty much the same - https://howly.com/chats/how-do-i-delete-a-fraudulent-account/
