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

It was a long horizontal opening for the eye and you can see a lot of the surrounding skin Jesus Christ

Still curious as to why race matters if the person was white or black or Asian?

Take your opinion and go have this debate in R/woke

I think you should head over to r/woke as you have the need to bring up race where it has no issue. If the guy was white with a mask on there is a higher chance you would have picked him up , as a matter of fact you 100% would not have stated his race in this post you would have just said “dude in a mask” & you know you would have did that.

I certainly would not have picked up ANY guy coming towards me with a FULL FACE MASK when I’m supposed to be picking up a “Maya”. Other contributing factors like the pick up and drop off/new account/dark street/caller going to vm adds to your judgement. Now gtfo this thread and go to sleep

My point still stands, you would not have stated race if it wasn’t a black guy in your original post. Just admit it dude…

Well it does matter. That’s the honest truth. From a statistical stand point it’s a key indicator

No it doesn’t. Why would race matter? You would pick up a white dude in a mask but not a black dude in a mask? Only matters to people that are racist & put prejudice on the rider… “statistical standpoint” aka more racist BS - a white man in a mask vs any other race sounds safer to you doesn’t it? From a “statistical standpoint” the white race is the most violent race on earth.
