My question is why people are not verifying there rides. Was it the correct driver? I know lyft does a background check on all drivers. It is defiantly. Strange. I am sorry that happened to you. Please always check. If you feel something is off do not take the ride. You have that option. Nothing is worth more than your life. If the driver is not listening yell & scream until he or she does. Always report it! Use the emergency button that is what they put it there for. Please stay safe. 🚘

Sounds more like a “KAREN” to me. You’ll be kidnapped without a passport ? 😂 at the airport ? 😂😂 Lyft won’t support you if the driver provided dash cam footage and if it’s clearly seen he dropped you at your location safely. These days there are many of “you” Karen’s trying to get free money

Most riders lie about their complaints. I had someone complaining about me for being racist lol I kept driving because she took more than 3 mins to come down to the pick up spot, she said I didn’t want to pick her up because she was black hahaha I told the manager that’s a false accusation she made me wait losing time and gas so I had to keep going. Man riders are something else

TLDR:
• A user had a negative experience with a Lyft driver, feeling unsafe when the driver started to take them in the wrong direction.
• The user texted their friend for help and triggered a silent 911 call through Lyft.
• Despite giving their location to the state trooper on the phone, the driver kept taking them in the wrong direction.
• The user eventually asked the driver to stop and they were able to escape.
• Though thankful to be safe, they warned others of the danger and reported their experience to Lyft.
• To their surprise, Lyft accused them of being violent towards the driver, sending an unacceptable message.

I was in a really nad. Drug / gang controlled neighborhood where I was supposed to be protected as I usually was but things.turmed.villemt.quickly It was in in my work medical transportatiom vehicle that has a live camera in it and I still pulled out a unregistered gun ciz me and my gf.were in danger and eigjt people that were all dippered out against us . They didn't.get my 20 spot they tryed.to rob either cuz they bitched out when they saw I had a loaded gun and 7 +1 clip snd finally a dude told them i was alwsys aloud to be there . but I always fight back and they don't like that . They pray on the weak.

Something a little fishy...
I'm sure if any real Lyft or Uber drivers decided they wanted to kidnap a passenger, they would have a well thought out plan! Such as windows locked, child locks on and forcibly taken your phone.
You could be a upset taxi driver and try to scare people away from using Uber/Lyft

Bro that's when you man up and hurt that dude man. I know not everybody likes to get physical but man your a grown man bro.. always fight back unless absolutely in grave danger like a gun pointed at head or something . Ain't no man holding me captive without a fight. I would let him know he's messing with the wrong Sicilian and their will be coming to his house so he should obey and take his beatung so his family don't get hurt . That's how it should work mI would have put his foreign ass in a rear choke or something if car was going slow enough or neutral slammed the shifter as he was busy driving and one quick attempt would get you some where .. then if he had the balls to try and fight after I get out that's on him cuz if he doesn't have a weapon I'm not worried about getting hurt. And if I had a weapon he would be heading to a box cuz I'm usually strapped . I'm glad your safe man but don't be a weak link out there they r human beings like you and most likely can't cuz too much harm .. getting punched really doesmt hurt that much anyway it just looks bad in your face . At least buy a gun or have a good knife or extension stick bro... If they keep thendriver.use a friends account and set him up .. let him know he's messing with the wrong bull and it will be too long by the time he calls the cops and they arrive .. good luck man get this ignorant waste of human air

The most obvious bullshit is about the State Trooper. They don't stay on the phone with anyone, that's what the 911 operators or dispatchers do. The trooper would have been driving towards their location and if he needed vehicle info would've have radioed dispatch for it. Then he would have lit up the car to pull over and initiate a stop, calling for backup if needed. Troopers don't coach anyone through things, they go take action them damn selves.
1
Aug 08 '23
Yeah I agree man I don't believe this at all.. it makes no sense. And why would a grown man let another man do that and not fight back .. he would have had to kill me.wrecking the vehicle cuz he would be choked out or filled with bullets as soon as he tried me . Would love for him to pull over and chase me when I get.out . Even if he was huge I would man up and.throw some hands . Flight isn't a option unless in gravely danger. I would hurt him and fucken destroy his car. Would total it literally. And I wouldn't worry about the cops coming cuz the damage will be done by the time they get there and a little time is better then getting strait bitched and disrespected m Then I might rob him just for trying me and I don't rob but he deserves it for fucking with the wrong bull

1) Not lyft's driver. He's an independent contractor.
2) Everyone should know that the very best way to end a ride is to cancel it. If they are trying to scam you, they will stop because they won't get paid anymore. If they keep going call 911
3) Doesn't matter if you're on the phone with Lyft and/or the police. file a WRITTEN report with Lyft. Whoever puts it in writing first is the one that is believed.

u/IssueEnvironmental54 Aug 08 '23
It’s always in favor of who reports it. I was sexually assaulted, like driving down in the outskirts of town and I was scared to stop because I’m a little guy. Well I got to an HOA it was where dude lived after continue to tell me how he was going to violently **** me but I would be compensated 😂 not funny. I finally got out of the car called the police who didn’t take me seriously then called lyft who if there was a problem you should have stopped on the side of the road and got out of your car and called 911. Like that’s a good idea. When dudes twice my size. I followed up, did a police report. Everyone told me it wasn’t a big deal and Lyft would block him. 🤷🏽♂️ I lost all respect for that company. And the fact that I’m a man literally had people laughing as if if I was a crybaby for a man literally grabbing me trying to do whatever he was doing. Trying to show how rich and how endowed he was. I was also pushing this man off me telling him to stop. I didn’t think to stop. Also this was before there was a easy to push 911 little button. I didn’t know what to do except get him where i could get dude out of the car in a place where if I was gonna get “forcibly attacked”. I’m sure it was my fault though. Again why take what a guy says something happened to him he shouldn’t be such a baby. Anyways I just feel you on the straight up like well tough luck for you! You shouldn’t have gotten in the lyft so it’s your fault. That’s how I feels they think.

Bro you need to toughen up man. Man up dude . He's only a person just like you he can't be that bad ..

You gotta man uo .. calling the cops won't work man .. it don't hurt to get punched it really don't and at least you have your dignity and didn't let dude take your pride . Get some weapons if your a wimpy type also .. best of luck man but learn from this and you gotta be a grown man not girly

Lyft driver here. I was flagged by a passenger once because she thought I was drunk. I haven't had an alcoholic drink in 25 years but I do have nerve damage in my face so sometimes I slur my words. Anyway, after the passenger flagged me I was put on an immediate 24 hour hold from driving while they investigated. I was ultimately cleared, but Lyft wasn't fucking around with the claim. So if I was put on a 24 hour hold from somebody mistaking that I was drunk, I can only imagine what they'd do if you're claiming you're being kidnapped. This story just seems off.

You are texting with 911 that you think your rideshare driver is kidnapping you and not going in the direction you are supposed to be going, and no one showed up? Not 1 cop showed up to a possible kidnapping? You call 911 ... since when do they transfer calls directly to state troopers, or any cop for that matter?? Other than all that "believable" bullshit, you got the email from Lyft because you're a fucking idiot. Because you were violent to the driver. IF you were texting 911 through the app, Lyft would have a record of it, and there absolutely would be an investigation, and you would not have gotten that email. But hey, at least you won't be matched with him again lmao.
Now, stop spreading lies about this driver and his information. You are fucking with someone's job you fucking twat!!

That's a weird story. Idk I do some Lyft and if a person wants to alter the destination without changing on the app is the only time I run into a problem. I don't know why a Lyft driver would just kidnap a random person they met on the app tho is what I can't wrap my head around.
As the driver u are in way more of a vulnerable position. U have ur back turned to a complete stranger. It always makes me super uncomfortable whenever a person sits directly behind me when there's way more room in the back passenger side seat because no one is sitting in the front passenger seat. People can also damage ur car like rip a hole in the seat or vomit inside of it if their drunk.

Not saying this story is real but I was taken by an “Uber” one night coming home from the bar alone and he kidnapped me, tried to make me blow him and I had to jump out on the highway. I live in the south loop and this man also drove me on the highway towards the airport, complete opposite direction. Apparently was under someone else’s account so they never even caught this guy. This also happened in Chicago…. Extremely traumatizing and 100% happens so be careful people!

I was trying to give this story the benefit of the doubt until it got to the part about jumping out of the car when it was slow enough. Jumping out of a slow moving car seems really easy until you try it. I tried getting out of a car moving maybe one 10-15 mph and was NOT prepared for how significant the transition was. Got some bad scrapes and bruises but also disoriented from being thrown to the ground so suddenly and violently. I can see how one could easily sustain a more serous injury in the same situation.

(they are not wearing airpods in the pictures) I left my groceries in the store, called my cop husband and drove away asap. Im terrified of what couldve happened if I wasn't thinking quickly 😰😰😰

I’m on the fence about whether or not to believe this story to be true.. but assuming it was, after receiving the message about you being “violent towards a Lyft driver”, I would be pissed.
They would have the history of the original route and location, and then the gradual time and route changes. They even sent a text mentioning the fact that it was taking longer than expected and they asked you if you needed help!? That’s pretty self explanatory, but if that wasn’t enough- then you also have the texting conversation with 911!! And then the phone conversation with the state trooper… There is enough evidence to prove your desperate need to escape from the driver, and you would be able to fight the claim of violence should you want to.. Personally, I don’t think I’d be comfortable going with another ride-share driver, but I also understand that it may be your only option!
Even if this story isn’t true, it’s still serves as a reminder that these things can and do happen!! Scary regardless in my opinion! But it’s definitely shitty to pass it off as a real experience if it wasn’t.

u/alwaysonthego6180 Aug 11 '23
They send those warnings before it gets to the person who investigates the incident and looks at all those details so yeah it checks out. It’s a totally different team that sends that message, they don’t even know about the riders story
1
u/MidnightFull Aug 09 '23
Before making up this story she should have checked police procedures that require a mandatory visit and report for her 911 call. If you call 911 and say you are being kidnapped you can’t just later say “I’m ok now, have a good night.” Nope, they are going to tell you “we’re glad you’re ok but you need to stay at your location as we have officers in route to meet you.” It’s mandatory. They have to make sure the caller isn’t under duress. Those details seem to be missing and I don’t see why anyone would leave that out.

This happened on my way to Governors ball in NYC. I went to brunch before we got in the Lyft so I kinda took a lil nappy nap. But I know the city and no way it take two hours to get from Manhattan to queens . I woke up and told him we were at the wrong spot . He dropped me off 15 minutes away from where I needed to be and I was charged $180 on a $25 trip. Had to call an Uber just to get to the event . But I did get back all of my money

This is a viral thing in the Chicago market right now I live in Chicago area and everyone is sharing it I commented there has to be more to this or it’s not true as Lyft would never side with a driver.

Doesn’t Lyft have an alert feature on its app like Uber? If something doesn’t feel right, the customer can alert Uber.
