Uber may be one of the hottest startup companies in the country, but its aggressive tactics arent worth five stars. The car-hailing service has once again been accused of interfering in the business of competitors by booking rides through their apps and then canceling them at the last minute. The companys employees — 177 of them — have allegedly ordered and cancelled 5,560 rides with rival ridesharing service Lyft since October last year. In it, the company says it cross-referenced phone numbers associated with known Uber recruiters with the ones listed for accounts that canceled rides. Lyft also points to evidence of Uber recruiters obviously attempting to conceal their identity.
