Leeds takeaway losing '£500 a week' to 'fraudster students claiming refunds' on Uber Eats

A Leeds kebab shop boss says it has been losing about “£500 a week” due to fraudulent orders “from students” on Uber Eats and has been plagued by homeless people begging their customers for money and/or food.

Mill Hill Kebabs boss Raja ‘Alex’ Ali, 38, has spoken about the issues his “hectic” city centre kebab shop has been facing, which is located by Leeds Train Station. The shop manager says the biggest issue they face is students requesting refunds on food they’ve received and lying to Uber Eats that it never came or that there’s been an issue with the food.

Uber Eats has stated it will contact the takeaway owners and points out it has a number of fraud checks in place for such circumstances.
