Doordash Scam: $200 Bonus for Top Dasher Claims Caller

I Doordash literally for a living. It’s how I make my income without being hassled and heckled by a supervisor, manager or annoying coworker. Is it my dream job? Hell no, but it allows me the autonomy to live life as I please.

Over the weekend, I was doing a Dash to a restaurant. I received a call from a caller identifying they were with Doordash. Additionally, the caller knew information about the order I was on.

The two Spoof numbers claiming to be Doordash Support

The caller stated the order I was on was already picked up by another dasher. In addition, what he said next threw me for a loop. He told me to unassign the delivery (which means another dasher will still pick it up in the system). Canceling a delivery can be done by a Doordash representative.

Once I unassigned myself, which affects my rating for cancelling, he then told me I was eligible to receive $200 for being Top Dasher. Top Dasher means you accept orders above 70% with a competition rate of over 95%. I was skeptical as I knew my acceptance rate was well below 50%.

The caller then immediately sent me a link, that I clicked using a VPN at the website http://www.mydriververification.com.

Once that link sent out, he said I would receive another call and instantly I did. The caller was speaking quickly as if he knew what he was doing. The caller told me I had to enter personal login data from my Doordash app in order to process the $200 “bonus”. Doordash would never do this, not even for someone like me who has completed over 2,000 deliveries.

I was lucky to not have gotten scammed out of the money I drove hard to earn. It looks like I am not the only one who has been tried according to another article where a Dasher did lose money from their account.

I’m not sure how they got the details of my information or the customer I was picking up. My theory is this customer could have placed the order, called my phone posing as Doordash, with the desire to scam me. If so, karma will get you quicker than I will.
