Uber "ghost car" event quest:-Uber organized fraud activity, car-IT information
According to the financial times of London reported, although not Halloween, but Uber China (excellent) on the platform of "ghost car" has begun to frighten passengers. Industry insiders are speculating, this is designed for step organized fraud.
After the adoption of step you take a taxi, passengers found that drivers ' profile pictures are distorted, frightening. In the vehicle is not before the arrival of their trip will begin and end. These "ghost" appears in the application, but has not really arrived, resulting in erroneous charges.
In August this year, announced the acquisition of step drops, and the events occurred in the company during the transition. Last month, China's cities have undergone "ghost car" event.
Industry experts noted that This may be gifted personnel organized fraudulent activity during the transition period.
Said that these complaints were due to "driver's personal fraud", and the company will "through technology to combat such behavior" down of suspected accounts.
A famous user naqian? Chen (Nathy Chen) 's experience is typical. She had a car, but orders the driver's head is scary. In the process of waiting for her to leave, the driver had begun to travel, and will end in 30 seconds, and she is 9 Yuan fee charged.

In China, this is not the first time fraudsters use sophisticated methods to fraudulent activity through the step platform.

Uber“幽灵车”事件探秘：有组织的欺诈活动 - Uber,专车 - IT资讯
据《金融时报》报道，尽管还没到万圣节，但Uber中国（优步）平台上的“幽灵车”已开始惊吓乘客。业内人士猜测，这是针对优步有组织的欺诈活动。
在通过优步打车后，一些乘客发现，司机头像照片非常扭曲、吓人。在车辆没有到来之前，他们的行程就会开始并被结束。这些“幽灵车”出现在应用中，但却没有真正抵达，从而导致了错误的收费。
今年8月，滴滴出行宣布了对优步的收购，而这起事件发生在优步的公司过渡期间。过去一个月，中国多座城市都发生了“幽灵车”事件。
业内专家指出，这可能是在优步人员过渡期间有组织的欺诈活动。
优步表示，这些投诉是由于“司机个人的欺诈行为”，而该公司将“通过技术去打击这样的行为”，封杀涉嫌的帐号。
一名优步用户纳茜?陈（Nathy Chen）的经历具有代表性。她通过优步打了一辆车，但接单司机的头像很吓人。在她出门等车的过程中，这名司机已开始了行程，并在30秒钟后将行程结束，而她也被收取了9元钱的费用。
对于投诉的乘客，优步已退还了误收的费用。
来自山东的王维尔（Veaer Wang）表示：“有天晚上，我在等车到来。地图显示，司机从我身边经过，但实际上当时根本没车。”
第二天，在他通过网上看到类似的投诉之后，他意识到自己遭遇了“幽灵车”。“道路不宽，不可能有车从我身边经过而我却看不到。”
在中国，这已经不是欺诈者首次利用复杂的手段通过优步平台去展开欺诈活动。在优步和滴滴提供高额补贴，争抢用户和司机期间，这样的欺诈和刷单活动并不少见。上月，在滴滴宣布对优步的并购之后，这一补贴大战逐渐结束。
然而，来自一家数据研究集团的分析师指出，相对于以往的欺诈活动，近期的“幽灵车”事件有所不同。
“他们似乎是有组织的团伙，并具备技术能力。这不是毫无目的的行为。在滴滴并购优步之后，优步目前正处于过渡期。许多工作的交接尚未完成，这给了欺诈者可乘之机。”
Uber中国区反作弊负责人尹佐宁近期加盟了中国另一家打车公司易到。这使得优步的人手更显得捉襟见肘。
自并购宣布以来，滴滴和优步均下调了补贴额。在这场补贴大战中，优步一年花费的成本达到10亿美元。
不过，优步的热度已开始减退。在中国区苹果App Store中，优步应用从之前的总排名第一下降至第80，而在旅行类应用中也下滑至第五。
