The criminal sending it will know full well that you hadn’t booked an Uber ride, which is why they conveniently put the link into the message inviting those that were concerned about the nature of the message to click on it.
If you do click on the link, then you will be invited to fill out a form containing your very important and private information which the criminal will use to try and access other accounts, or trade your details online with other criminals.
If you receive a suspicious text message then please forward to 7726
