Maryland's Attorney General announced on Monday that his office is leading a coalition of 22 state law enforcement agencies that joined a lawsuit previously filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against Uber Technologies, LLC, and Uber USA, LLC, who are the operators of the popular rideshare and delivery company.

 The lawsuit alleges that Uber used a variety of deceptive and unfair practices while offering and selling Uber One subscription services, which the company promoted as saving money on rides and deliveries.

According to the lawsuit, Uber improperly used negative option marketing tactics when it offered free trial subscriptions, which is a practice that automatically charges customers if they do not cancel a free trial. Source: Foxbaltimore.com and Maryland AG
