Uber's 'Vomit Fraud' Sounds Worse Than Surge Pricing

Why can't drivers simply snap a photo of the vomit evidence when filing their claim? Would clarify the situation pretty easily I would think.

FTA it sounds there's reuse of old photos:

So lazy, why not commit and actually cause yourself to vomit? Then you foil reverse image searches. You could get creative with it and swallow different food colorings and paint beautiful mosaics on your car seats.

Forcing yourself to vomit is not a good idea of course, but if you have no scruples about lying anyways, maybe you deserve a little personal damage to go along with your deceit?

Then you still have a soiled car to clean.

It does require this, they're simply using fraudulent or re-used/edited/internet sources photos
