Introducing the Incognia Frontline Report: Gig Economy Edition

By André Ferraz, CEO and Co-Founder at Incognia

It’s a wild time in the gig economy fraud space.

Fraud is draining millions from gig economy platforms.

And many companies don’t have a good way to stop it.

In 2024, Incognia worked with 53% of the top food delivery and ride sharing companies globally.

It was quite the year… and we learned a lot.

This report highlights some of what we uncovered.

It includes:

• A ranking of the top fraud concerns of 2024
• Detailed breakdowns of fraudster tactics
• The tools fraudsters are relying on
• Fraud trends to watch for in 2025
• Incognia’s results for the gig economy

We also share lots of real-life examples of fraud, like:

A fraud ring renting out 2000 accounts to help unauthorized drivers bypass verification.

Two fraudsters starting a Buy-4-You scheme on a food delivery platform and draining the company of €2.4 million euros.

One platform seeing 65% of referral bonuses in a specific region going to fraudsters—a fraud rate so high they had to suspend the campaign.
