Food delivery drivers are harassing and intimidating female customers after pretending they are women on their accounts. One driver even texted a girl ‘I know where you live’ after finding her on social media!

Wow I have noticed several times I had been assigned a female driver but a male delivered my food. Nothing weird like this has happened though.
This seriously needs to be clamped down on – whether it’s women renting out their accounts to men or vice versa, it’s wrong and completely unsafe. I’ve had this happen countless times.
In my opinion those caught doing this should be banned permanently from the app on a one strike basis, both the person renting and the person using it.
And for me it’s not about someone ‘earning a bit of money’ – it’s about ensuring that people working in this country are doing so legally and safely. Some of these people are bypassing legal processes that everyone else has to follow, including background checks to make sure they’re not a threat.
Whilst I know it’s a normal and legal working arrangement to nominate a substitute worker to work for them as they are are self employed; in this case it’s often being abused as people who often don’t have the rights to work here are using the account.
This affects not only the safety of customers but undermines people who follow the law to work here legally.
This is the problem with having everyone “self employed”. Of course it’s cheaper, but then you end up with zero standards for their behaviour etc.
The delivery companies need to do a hell of a lot more to stop this shit happening.
It happens to me all the time.. never been harassed though… but I do feel for vulnerable customers who are being deceived..
Food delivery companies are very scummy. It’s a weird grey market that needs regulation before some bad stuff happens.
At least an Uber driver needs a license and insurance.
I would go to say at least 50% of delivery drivers are not who they say they are.
I’m a bloke, ordered food a bunch of times on UberEats and I would see female name, surname, photo but the driver that turned up was male.
As someone who lives alone, I always do a fake “food is here [insert man’s name]” as I go to answer the door so it makes it seem like I’m not on my own/with someone
It’s not just those using female accounts that a problem. The other day I had someone who looked about 13 delivering to me. He was adorable bless him but surely this is illegal???!
I’d be surprised if a deliveroo driver wasn’t a sex offender tbh.
Quelle surprise, employing men from countries that view women as second class citizens (if that)
This is a blatant breach of GDPR and it would be interesting to see the ICO’s opinion on where responsibility lies.
There are no differences between men and women. How do they even know? No one’s pretending to be anything.
Who would have guessed? Illegal immigrants making people unsafe. Keep voting for left wing ideologies though
Harassing customers is shit and allowing renting of accounts decreases safety but the incongruity between female driver photo and male driver turning up has no relevance to this. It’s just that you’re more likely to notice it’s not the same person. They aren’t ‘lying’, they’re renting an account, and you can’t request a female deliveroid anyway.
Easy to stop. If a driver dose this sort of thing then the delivery firm and the restaurant gets fined. They will have robust systems in place to prevent it by end of play the next day
