You’ve Heard Of Uber And Uber Eats. Now, There’s UberSex, That Lets Sex Come To You.

Uber say they are to  investigate the "unlawful use" of its name and logo, after discovering ads for a sex partner finder service called "UberSex", plastered across one of the world’s largest on-line porn websites.

The ride-hailing app allege they have no link to the X-rated site, promoted on Redtube’s home page to 20 million daily visitors.

The advertised UberSex service purported to give users a list of potential partners who "live in your area and who are ready to have sex right now" the same working model as "Plenty of Fish. 

The adult service appears to be modelled on Uber itself, which matches passengers with nearby drivers.

Like the ride-hailing app, UberSex shows maps, carrying Uber’s logo and a system where users give ratings of up to five stars from previous encounters. Their legal team said they wanted to make it clear, UberSex is not prostitution. If that’s what you want, UberMassage is on the way soon. 

It’s thought that this latest concept is actually based on an app that appeared briefly in Los Angeles, when Uber joined in collaboration with Tinder to launch beta-app UberSex back in 2015. 

A similar app surfaced a few years ago, when in Paris under the name of UberEscort. But was closed down when escorts were found offering prostitution services.

Uber’s PR team have gone into overdrive getting the adds removed and are now saying that it’s all fake and made up by a disgruntled driver. 

TAXI LEAKS EXTEA BIT :

NHS employees angry after Uber discount code didn’t work showing services as unavailable. 

In a massive media campaign just before Christmas, Uber proclaimed in nation press and of billboards throughout the capital, that NHS would be given discounts for food and free rides. 

But customers were left hungry and out in the cold, after the discount code that promised the discounts and free rides failed to work.

To add insult to injury, many customers complained that services in their area were shown as "unavailable".

Many NHS staff, said they were unable to get it to work, when the promotional code failed to work. 

All this controversy, one scandal after another...and yet this is the mob that The disabled lobby group ‘Transport for All’ have gone into partnership with.... you couldn’t make it up 😂
