Postmates gig workers are receiving phone calls from people claiming to be Postmates employees

A rash of phishing scams have been targeting gig workers for Postmates. Drivers are receiving calls from people claiming to be Postmates employees. They urge the workers to give over their login details.

The markup has spoken to many Postmates gig workers who’ve been preyed upon with this scam. Postmates make weekly deposits of a worker’s earnings, but instant transfers can also be requested.

Some scammers have gone so far as to involve restaurants in their scheme. Placing an order allows the perpetrators to easily reach their driver by phone.

Scammers are taking advantage of how busy the gig workers often are. Drivers are asking for more safeguards in the app.

Postmates has a support page on protecting accounts, but several drivers told the markup they’d never seen it before. A caller ID clearly identifies when a call is coming from a customer account.
