In Central Ohio, an Instacart shopper allegedly scammed more than 100 people last year. Unauthorized charges of nearly $700 were incurred by one victim alone.
Even though Instacart reimbursed the victims, there’s still not enough assurance that this won’t happen to us as well.
So, if you’ve lost faith in Instacart’s vetting process for their shoppers, and you’re looking for information about canceling your Instacart subscription, then you’ve come to the right place!
