Hey, what could go wrong. Uber has your credit card and so does someone else. Seems they latched onto your password too. Now Uber is calling to say your car will be right there, you know, at that address in downtown Krakow, Poland 7,000 miles away. You watch as your impersonator hops in and gets delivered to the other side of Krakow. A bill for something like $3.75 Canadian arrives. This is the story Laura Hesp tells of her unwanted “visit” to Poland. She complained to Uber and they refunded the fare, advising her to change her password and remove her card number.
