A woman in New York City claims she was the victim of a bold lie by an Uber driver, saying he used fake vomit to charge her $200 in cleaning fees.

Similar incidents have been reported in other cities, including Los Angeles and Tampa.

Art director Meredith Mandel, who frequently uses Uber, says she used the service early in the morning of Feb. 21 from Fort Greene to Williamsburg.

I was infuriated, because I realized that it actually is a scam.
