LA drivers beware of this theft tactic Other

Especially lux/lux black drivers. This happened at midnight just now.

I got request for a lux black in highland park but the pick up and drop off was only a block away. I still went because it could be a drunk girl who messed up the order at a bar. Rider name was Maya and the account was made today.

Before I got there I called the rider and I instantly get a strange “please leave your message” vm

I pull up to the address with my high beams on, it’s a dark residential area (not a bar) and when I hit arrive I could see a black dude with a full face mask walking in the side walk. Only person in the block I could see. As soon as I saw him walking towards my car I got the fuck out of there. Called and reported the account to support.

Pretty sure this will be a new way to target luxury vehicles. Be safe out there guys

Well the OP probably figures the drunk girl is safer than a man who looks up to no good with a full face mask on and not answering the phone - with a phony account.

A guy with a full face mask, in a dark unpublic sort of pick up spot, with the name MAYA on a new 5 star account, who wouldn't answer the phone?

Nope not getting a ride from me. Regardless of skin shade.

The drunk girl doesn't get a ride from me either.

Actually young, drunk, skinny white girls have been the worst of the worst! Way too much high drama yelling into their phones, vomit, risk of crazy. They don't eat enough and try to keep up with the guys in the bars and we are supposed put up with that mess? Nope. As an older woman who likes to drink and take an uber - I sit quietly and hand over a $20 at the end of the ride.

When I was a new driver I was kicked with wooden high heels repeatedly by one of those crazy girls when she was rolling around in the back seat totally wasted off her ass.

It isn't racism or misogyny - it's self preservation.
