Uber Account Blocked.

Hi Guys.

Someone has managed to hack my uber account and it has now become blocked, I am unable to sign into the app or the website, uber will only typically only offer me help through the in app support. I have tried to create a new account with my work number, it worked for a bit and then stopped, I assume it recognised my IP address. 

Be good to know if anyone else has experienced this.

     Is your bank card linked to the account?

    I assume it must be, but I think it is an old card, but yes probably to the same account

     Then you should call the bank and have the card cancelled/warn them of potential fraud. the only reason hackers hack accounts like uber etc
