VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – The Volusia County sheriff said his office is now investigating five cases in what they’re calling a bizarre scam.
The sheriff said schemers are using Uber drivers to collect money from victims and bring it to them. Sheriff Mike Chitwood said between the now five people in Volusia County who fell victim, they’ve lost about $100,000 to scam artists. “As the job comes in, we jump all over it.
We have some excellent fraud investigators,” he said. He said investigators are at a stand-still, though. He said Uber has not responded to subpoenas his office sent for payment and user information.
