Man outraged after 'fake' Uber Eats takeaway 18 miles away fails to show up after night out

A young man who ordered a takeaway on New Year's Eve from Uber Eats has been left outraged after it never arrived - and claims it was in fact a scam.

Kyle Fairhurst, who lives in Chorley, Lancashire, believes the restaurant, located 18 miles from his home in Manchester, must be fake and wants the food delivery giant to do more about potential sham eateries on its platform after having to wait weeks to get a refund.

The 18-year-old, who wished not to be pictured, says he was hugely disappointed when his burger and jalapeno bites as part of his £21 order never made it to his home and nothing happened after he complained - but Uber Eats now say they are 'fully investigating' the claims.
