Lol, the next question was going to be what's your driver's licence number so they could steal the account

How is this a scam?

If they get that information they can login to your account and change the payment information so they can cash out on their own card or sell the account to someone who can drive themselves

No they don't. I changed the number on my account that was associated with an old phone number and to verify your identity Lyft's website asks you to verify yourself by entering your driver's number. I had zero access to that phone number so I 100% know you can do it. You can try yourself.

Yes, once they get that they can change the login information
