"You get what you pay for" doesn't mean you deserve to be defrauded for choosing the cheap option.

  On the other hand, if you pay someone $20 to buy a brand new ApplePhone 12 XS Max, you should expect to not get the phone. The Twitter didn't mention anything about price; and it is possible that the fraudsters were actually charging a normal market rate; and nobody deserves to be defrauded for trying to get something for cheap; but if Uber was taking the cheapest option then it's hard to feel sympathetic towards them - they're a big company with lots of marketing people and they should know better.

In reality, you get AT MOST what you pay for. There are plenty of cases where you get much less, or nothing at all, for what you pay for. This story goes to show that.
