FREE NOW Driver Responsibilities
 
Hi Stephen,

Recent Garda statistics have shown that online and card fraud has increased by 50% during Covid-19. In the interest of reducing fraud, FREE NOW would like to remind/notify you of your responsibilities as a FREE NOW driver.
 
Your Responsibilities:
 
•   Only put through metered fare - i.e. do not process fares for a higher value than what is shown on your Taxi meter. Do not process Cashback in any circumstances.
•   Do not process fares upfront - fares must only be processed at the end of the journey.
•   Pickup Rule - Only pickup within 200 metres of the Pickup Location - do not travel from the Pickup Point to another destination to collect the passenger, if contacted by the passenger.
•   When completing 'Pay with FREE NOW' bookings, you must follow the correct process before commencing the journey - this will enable us to verify the validity of the trip (e.g. distance travelled, fare price, etc...)
 
 
Tips for completing a ‘Pay with FREE NOW’ booking
•   When picking a passenger off the street, ask them their intended payment method.
•   Start the ‘Pay with FREE NOW’ booking at the beginning of the journey, enter the destination, and keep the trip “live” for the entire journey.
•   At the end of the journey, only enter the metered fare.
 
 
Important note:
In the event there is proof that a trip does not comply with these responsibilities, FREE NOW is allowed to withhold, recover or deny the payment. FREE NOW may only pay a reasonable estimate of the fare (if at all). FREE NOW may also sanction drivers with suspensions, potentially leading to termination.
 
Open App
 
Finally, FREE NOW will only accept FREE NOW trip data as proof of a completed journey. We will not accept taxi meter receipts.
 
Thank you for your cooperation,
The FREE NOW Driver Team.

I wonder if this increase in fraud is widespread in society or just confined to FN.  This is the 2nd or 3rd time they've sent out that email.  I wonder if some drivers are 'trying harder' to earn a living in these Covid times?

If the punter rings you and says he's in the shebeen round the corner are you going to tell him to fuck off and let some immigrant have his fiver while you queue for another 74 hours?
