Will Uber refund me if I get scammed?

If you suspect fraud associated with your account, such as being charged for a ride you didn't take, you may also be eligible to receive a refund. All refund disputes are investigated by Uber and determined on a case-by-case basis. Uber Eats requires you to cancel your order to receive a refund.

Uber wants to keep their drivers happy just as they do customers, so when a refund is issued to improve customer service, they don't ding the drivers.
