DoorDash scams

1. 1

   Fake support calls asking for codes

   A caller references a real order or payout problem and asks for a code they are sending to verify you. The code completes a login or password reset on your account.

2. 2

   Dasher account takeover

   Once inside, the attacker changes the deposit bank account and redirects earnings, or uses the account for fraudulent deliveries under the Dasher's identity.

3. 3

   Refund cons against customers

   A "support agent" offering a refund asks for card or bank details, or for remote access to "process" it.

4. 4

   Fake Dasher recruitment

   Job posts promising DoorDash driver positions collect identity documents and a fee for "onboarding" or equipment.

• Anyone asks you to read back a verification code
• A caller claims to be DoorDash support (there is no inbound line)
• You are asked for bank details to receive a refund
• A "recruiter" charges a fee to become a Dasher
• The login page is not doordash.com
• Your deposit account changes without you changing it
• A caller knows your order details and treats that as proof of identity

• Never share a verification code, with anyone.
• Use only the Help section inside the DoorDash or Dasher app.
• Request refunds in the app — they return to the original payment method automatically.
• Dashers: check the deposit account after any suspicious contact, and turn on two-factor.
• Never pay a fee to become a delivery driver.

For a Dasher, check the deposit bank account first and change it back — redirected earnings are the usual objective, and catching it before a payout cycle is the difference between an inconvenience and a lost week. Change the password, turn on two-factor, and report through the app. Unauthorised card charges are covered by your issuer. Money pulled from a bank account using details you gave should be reported to the bank immediately under Regulation E, which requires prompt notice.
