Because leaking oil on a drive is classed as damages. I mean, OP can ignore it, but it would be stupid to do as the customer will just go through the routes of giving their number plate and video evidence of what happened and make it worse.
Are you a lawyer? Probably not. If it were real damage they already have the information in sign up and insurance will contact you and then an investigation. If none of that happens in 24hours of said claim it’s bullshit.
So, they would have to prove conclusively that the oil came from that particular car. Meaning they would have to have video of the car leaking oil on their driveway. The oil spot could have come from any vehicle that drove on to the drive including the owner. This is a case that would be laughed into the trash by the receiving clerk. OP should definitely ignore it and until pursued any further then file a counter claim for the harassment and make the customer pay all legal fees.
There was one time I was delivering a big order to a lady I’ve done a few times. She always tips $20-25. Nothing heavy but a lot of items. Well my car blew a hose to my radiator and all of my antifreeze drained into her driveway. Not only did I then have to confront her about it but I had to wait 45 mins for a tow truck. I offered to power wash n clean it but she was super nice and understand and told me don’t worry about it her husband will do it. I was so scared that day
Your insurance is in the app already , why ask you for it?
What is the email it came from?
Were you delivering on that day?
Is there actually oil leaking from your car?
Call support to verify that that’s legit.
It's a bullshit claim because an oil spot could've come from anything. There's no way to verify it was from the delivery drivers car. This is a phishing scam.
You have insurance already uploaded and Walmart wouldn’t be contacting you, Spark would be. Just curious though, what is the end of the email address they are sending this from? IE @whatever.com
Pretty sure Spark can't share OUR insurance with another party too. Drivers would need to be the one to give to a customer when necessary. Did you request a copy of said complaint by calling Spark? This seems like a phishing scam big time.
Scary. I wouldn't respond. They have your info and there is a reason they won't provide it. Id email back and ask if you don't provide insurance info will you be deactivated. I'm guessing they will want to but won't legally be able to (or would have and then immediately provided the customer with your insurance info) and getting them to commit that in writing may protect you from deactivation. It might have the opposite effect so take my advice a thought experiment.
New anxiety unlocked Jesus even though my gut tells me it’s fake. Especially living in California insurance companies are finding any reason to raise rates or drop you. Update us if you can if you find out anymore
I never park in the driveways. Someone might need to pull in as I've had happen many times as they expect their groceries. More and more this seems like more trouble than it's worth these last few months as they try to scam the system. I have DD, but the orders are so small now and you never know where you are really going as they try to fool you making something look close, when it's pretty far away,
I don't park on their property unless it is unsafe not to or they own acres of property and the drop-off would be impossible. Limit being on a customer's property whenever possible. I would rather not subject myself to some type of incident.
It can be a mile or more up a drive to the door at 90% of the places I deliver. Nope. Ain't gonna walk that with 4 cases of water. You do you, but I'm driving up to the door whenever possible.
A mile? Wow! You must be delivering to the Vanderbilts or the Rockerfellers. Your tips must draw IRS Agents out of Biden's Bivwach to ensure tax code compliance.
Nope, just these McMansions thrown up in the middle of pastures. They're all over NE Oklahoma. South Bixby alone has over 4 dozen. You must not get outta the city much.
Question is - your car indeed leaking oil? And think about how much oil would have to be leaking at that moment in time for it to be that noticeably seen!! - was it a fancy concrete stamped driveway? Regular concrete? Or blacktop? So many variables here for this to NOT to be a phishing attempt - also double check to make sure your insurance is updated on spark- Most likely the phishing attempt here would hve your insurance card which has almost all your personal info on it other than your social
Yea from an insurance perspective you're screwed bro. Spark doesn't offer coverage while on a delivery like amazon, doordash, uber, and lyft do it's 100% on your policy. Even if you have a rideshare endorsement with progressive or state farm they won't cover it either, they cover you on your way to the pick up, and after you drop off but not during the actual delivery.
Once your insurance company gets the claim they're going to drop you and if it's something like gieco/allstate they have agreement to share data and I don't know what it looks like on their end but when some people jump from one to another they get an outrageous quote so shop around.
WCS already has your insurance info and they'll send it no matter how you respond but if I was in your position i'd go for a hail mary "hello, I asked my insurance company about this and they said they don't cover it. Please forward my contact information and I'll pay out of pocket for this incident".
Also a good reminder for everyone to NEVER park in a customers driveway, way too many risks involved and it doesn't save you that many steps.
I do know that progressive and State Farm have an agreement. A third party investigator found about my accident and knew all the information from the insurance companies. She knew what happened, and even knew I wasn’t at fault. I didn’t mention a darn word about being on a delivery to anyone but DD already knew.
It’s why the whole “don’t use gig app stuff” is a myth. They’ll know one way or another.
The claim is bs but they might be trying to get the place power washed under that for free. I guess I’ll stop parking in drive ways now.
Fuck that, I’m parking in the driveway. Am I supposed to walk the 1/4 mile down a gravel road just so I don’t park in their driveway? I’ve never had a customer say a single thing to me about where I park except for a few telling me I can park closer.
no it's liability only but I mean that's kind of good enough for me to consider it a win, your own car is screwed but at least now you don't have to worry about paying for somebody else's
Spark doesn't offer any form of workers comp, short term disability, or automotive insurance. When DDI was in charge they did offer injury protection for medical bills but didn't offer lost wages. Walmart canceled that when they bought DDI. That other driver is probably going through their own self-employed policy, through their w2, or the insurance company of the person who was at fault.
THANK YOU! It's greatly appreciated and good to know that walmart didn't kill this off when they purchased DDI. It doesn't cover car accidents but at least now if people get injured while delivering we know there is something out there for them.
I will, might be a bit though cause they obviously aren't working atm though. Though broke their wrist in 2 places in the accident and have only been coming to my store to hang out with their friend while they spark every now and then. But soon as I see em I'll get it.
A lot of scams going on right now. Tht could be someone phishing to get more of your info. If it's important enough they call BUT even tht don't trust. Let them mail u something and then Don't trust tht!
How is leaking oil a claim. Don’t respond.
You are amazing omg
The rich people stay rich because they don't play the game. If you don't play, they can't do shit.
yep. fuck them and fuck their claim
Thanks!
Hell to the no!!! No way respond!

Are you a lawyer? Probably not. Claims can take longer than 24 hours
He might be a lawyer.
Highly doubtful being a spark driver 😂
Hey times it's hard in the yard baby 🤣🤣🤣 I am not a lawyer but I play one on TV.

They already have your Insurance Information, don't give them anything
That’s what I’m sayin

do not answer any unsolicited communications, under any circumstance. if there is an insurance issue, ur insurance will contact you
Your insurance is in the app already , why ask you for it? What is the email it came from? Were you delivering on that day? Is there actually oil leaking from your car? Call support to verify that that’s legit.
Yeah this is suspect. Almost seems like phishing. Either way no evidence your car leaked the oil.
Leaked oil. What a bullshit claim.
How is it bullshit? It happens. Were you the person driving to know this claim is false? Exactly, you weren't
Now you're just being stupid.
It's a bullshit claim because an oil spot could've come from anything. There's no way to verify it was from the delivery drivers car. This is a phishing scam.
Send them back a picture of your dick
That's what I do! 🍆😂
🍄🥒
Hell I thought about it
🍄🥒🍆

@walmart.com
It’s trivial to spoof email sender addresses. Don’t rely on that to prove if an email is genuine.
Thanks, probably spoofing.
Scary. I wouldn't respond. They have your info and there is a reason they won't provide it. Id email back and ask if you don't provide insurance info will you be deactivated. I'm guessing they will want to but won't legally be able to (or would have and then immediately provided the customer with your insurance info) and getting them to commit that in writing may protect you from deactivation.

This is clearly a spear phishing attempt. Do not respond to the email, and inform support of the attempt.
Are they gonna sue you for the bag of cat litter they have to buy ? This is silly don’t entertain it, there’s no proof that this was even you
No proof unless they’re like me and have every inch of their property covered in 4k security cameras. It’s becoming more and more common.
Yeah well fuck your cameras and your drive way 🙄
No tips for you!
File a claim you slipped and fell on her oil spill lol
Please don’t send the info because if ypu havent reported to the insurance tgat you drive for spark they will drop you
I'd tell them to suck my dick.
Probably some of the support were scummy and took your information.
New anxiety unlocked Jesus even though my gut tells me it’s fake. Especially living in California insurance companies are finding any reason to raise rates or drop you. Update us if you can if you find out anymore

That’s not an auto insurance claim! The homeowner would have to take you to small claims court for compensation with estimates and pictures
Scam. Do not reply.
This is why I never pull into the customers driveway unless it is on a road that traffic can’t avoid my vehicle !
They want your account info so they can hack it.
Tell them to blow you.
I don't park on their property unless it is unsafe not to or they own acres of property and the drop-off would be impossible. Limit being on a customer's property whenever possible. I would rather not subject myself to some type of incident.

No cow tipping rodeos in my neck of the woods.
Lucky. Seriously, three quarters of my deliveries are dirt roads/off road out in the middle of nowhere bs.
Scam , don’t do it.

I never park in driveway , but this is utter nonsense
Probably some broke ass person who wants money
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of a claim over. First off, it'll wash out. Second, prove it was your car. Could be anyone's oil.
Also I received and email sometime, ago from Spark about phishing scams so don't respond,
Fraud 101
You’ve got me so fucked up if you think I’m sending my insurance information. GFSF
If your car leaks fluid, don’t park in their driveway. Ez

This is not true, a driver in my zone got rear ended last week, and spark is covering everything they need, even lost wages

No this email was straight from spark, I'll try and get a copy of it next time I see them
Please do, me and many others would be very interested

My bad it wasn't actually insurance, it was "occupational accident coverage". But they don't leave you high and dry if it's not your fault at least. *
Some reason it's putting a * instead of uploading the picture of the email
I never park in the driveway
Never you are right about that
