- Scooter company Bird is reaching out to customers to settle past-due amounts of cents.
- In November, Bird admitted to inflating its revenue for a period between 2020 and 2022.
- The company is seeking additional funding following a dismal Q3 earnings report.
Electric bike and scooter company Bird is desperate for pennies.
The company has begun emailing past customers with requests to settle up old dues, according to tweets that journalist Ali Griswold compiled on her Substack.
But several of the collection requests are for a matter of cents.
"Please tell me why BIRD Scooters decides to follow up and remind me I owe them $0.62," one customer tweeted after receiving an email from the company on December 7th. "Y'all must be strapped for cash rn," the customer wrote.
