A man was left stunned after checking his bank and discovering Uber had attempted to charge him over £35,000 for a 15-minute journey - after his destination stop was incorrectly set to Australia.
Oliver Kaplan, 22 had made plans to catch up with some pals for drinks after his work and arranged an Uber ride to meet with them, the Mirror reports. He entered his details and selected his desired pick up spot from the Buxton Inn in Greater Manchester to his required destination, the Witchwood pub in Ashton-under-Lyne.
The Uber app confirmed his ride and the price of the four mile long journey which would roughly cost around £10. However, the following morning Oliver was horrified to discover Uber had attempted to charge £35,427,97 to his debit card.
