<a href="https://laohu8.com/S/TRU">TransUnion</a> Finds One in Four Gig Workers Rent or Sell Platform Accounts

TransUnion has published its 2026 Gig Economy Worker Report, highlighting emerging fraud trends within the gig economy. The analysis reveals that nearly one in four gig workers have rented their platform accounts to unverified users, with Millennials and Gen Z workers being the most likely to engage in this practice—31% in each group. Additionally, 20% overall report selling their accounts. The report underscores that these actions increase risks for consumers, workers, and platforms, exposing all parties to potential fraud and liability. TransUnion also found that 34% of gig workers have experienced fraud from consumers, leading to heightened expectations for stronger identity and device verification measures by gig platforms to ensure safety and trust.
