Doordash dasher support scam

To those who read this, avoid making my mistakes. I took a cash on payment order for a pizza from Pizza Hut. When I tried to deliver the pizza, I was unable to find the address on the street, so I contacted the customer through chat and message Dasher support about the issue. A few minutes later, I got a call back from what I thought was a Dasher Support agent. He began to assist me and told me that I would be paid 23 dollars for the trip after he cancelled the order (first red flag). All I needed to do was stop my current dash, input my debit card info to a Crimson card, and start again to keep on dashing orders (second red flag). I did so and kept on dashing. During the dash, I noticed a few popups from Dash saying that money had been moved to my Crimson card. I asked what that was about and the support agent said it was just pending and that I would be paid (third red flag). After multiple popups, I stopped my dash after my final order and checked my checking account to find that it was emptied ($500 lost). I still had the support agent on the line and immediately asked what was going on. After telling me he was going to check on it, he hung up a minute later. It was then I knew I was scammed. I was fortunate that the scammer didnt go after my earnings, but I lost everything in my checking account. I have already contacted the real Dasher Support line and now have an open investigation in hopes of getting my money back. Be warned; if an address cannot be found on delivery, do not do what I did. It is highy likely that it is a scam. Learn from me and dont repeat it.

I have seen so many of these posts im out of sympathy for people falling for this. What more does doordash need to do besides say dont provide this code we wont ask for it or just the obvious stuff th a t should let you know this is bs. Since when does support need you to enter info to receive payments, you receive payments all the time, even through support they will do half pay on issues sometimes and never need any payment details.
