The particular scam you mention is impossible with an Uber-like platform, as payment is made via the app, and there's no way for the driver to massively increase the fare in the last moments of a ride.

"Well, YMMV"

No, your mileage cannot vary, because it's tracked in the app.

Isn't this a story about them doing just that, though?
