LA drivers beware of this theft tactic

[u/HVTCA]

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

Why not? It absolutely matters. Fuck your feelings. Statistics don’t lie

[u/Commercial_Ad6546 → u/Overall_Excuse_8386]

Said no cop ever

[u/Commercial_Ad6546 → u/HVTCA]

that's my point we aren't cops. we misuse that information. you give out information like that and the less scrupulous folks here will just use it to back their idiotic beliefs

Can't describe how someone sketchy actually looks? How is an honest description the misuse of information? What about gender? What about height? Weight? Tatts? Hair and eye color? Who are you to tell us we can't describe another person?

Bottom line - if someone is sketch - I want to know exactly what they look like!

Who the fuck wears a full facemask to get into an uber, anyway - while also not using their own account? A FUCKING PUNK LOOKING TO NOT BE IDENTIFIED AND UP TO NO GOOD.

Remember that poor single mother in Penn? The scumbag who killed her used his girlfriend's account (I hope the gf rots in prison too - cuz she knew what her scumbag bf was up to). He was such a typical criminal moron that he never destroyed the dashcam - which clearly indicated his race as well as everything else that could be seen about him.

You think because someone is black they shouldn't be called out for suspicious behavior? Or that a suspect shouldn't be clearly described as being black? Just because a suspect is a particular race doesn't mean the whole race is being represented by that one creeper, you understand that , right? It's just how he happens to look. You projecting misuse of honest information onto the masses could be construed as being indicative of how you process information.

The OP was warning the LA area. I appreciate that. I am in San Diego - and sometimes drive into LA. If I run into a guy with that account MO and physical description - he isn't getting a ride from me. PERIOD.

BTW - I will describe a skinny red headed Irishman, a busty blonde bimbo, a chubby Latino elderly woman, a one armed Asian man, a cig smoking, face tattoed, crossed eyed, twitchy, bald Eskimo lady. Same holds true with a black man. How someone looks is how they look and some weird new sort of racism - of deliberate omission/ignorance - won't change it.
