This is the best summary I could come up with:
FORT LAUDERDALE — Two men were arrested this week for allegedly scamming UberEats out of more than $1 million in deliveries, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
BSO stated in a Friday press release that following a nearly eight-month investigation, detectives with the Strategic Investigations Division obtained arrest warrants for Trayon Morgan of Lauderhill, 21, and Roy Blackwood of Sunrise, 38, and both were charged with organized scheme to defraud and grand theft.
According to BSO, the fraud started in January 2022 and took place mainly in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
The release stated that Morgan used UberEats and would act as the customer and courier by placing orders for pickup under a fake name before accepting them as the delivery person.
On Jan. 24, detectives conducted a surveillance operation and saw Morgan and Blackwood travel to 27 different Walgreens, frauding locations that totaled up a $5,013.28 loss for Uber that day.
According to BSO, Morgan created several fake accounts to keep the fraud going, often using stolen and fabricated identities of other Uber drivers by using their license information and altering them with his own photo.
