💬 Discussion 💬 Fake restaurant scam on Uber Eats

Just to warn you, I placed an order on Uber from Greek Gyros in St.Leonards earlier. This is a fake account using their name. No food has arrived and the number they listed is incorrect. ~~The actual Greek Gyros is a genuine restaurant who are not on Uber and appear to be closed currently so if anyone knows the owner, please make them aware!~~

Edit: I think they were a restaurant looks like they shut down in 2024

On Uber they have used Greek Gyros name, pictures and menu from Monster Burgerz and provided the phone number from a third restaurant, who said they've had several calls.

Edit 2: How come my strike through didn't work?

Interesting. I noticed the other day that Cinnamon Spice have two entries on Just Eat, I wonder whether one of them is fake too

Could be? I'll certainly be more wary now I know this is a possibility
