NEWS: Cyber Hitchhiking?!

So I came across this story on ValleyWag and I gotta tell ya it surprises me how open minded people are when it comes to trying new things out, I guess I’m not as courageous as some (or as dumb). You may have heard of the phone app lyft, it’s pretty much like a new age car service. Basically anyone with a smartphone, a clean driving record, that hasn’t Buffalo Bill’d anyone yet, can be a driver. I’m not here to spew hate on lyft, I’m sure there are plenty of capable, safe drivers on board however this story does creep me out a bit and I wanted to share. This is an account of one women’s experience with a lyft driver that got a little psycho stalkerish. She states:

I got in his Lyft and he seemed normal. Told him I was going to NYC in a few weeks and staying in BK. Just small talk, and whatever. Got to my destination and he pulled over and parked, and asked if I would like to hang out some time, and I felt really uncomfortable being put on the spot so I gave him my number and bounced. He texted me later that day and I didn’t respond and I pretty much ignored him. THEN, Tuesday is when those texts started.”

 

Be careful, folks! This goes for men and women that online date as well. Be aware of your surroundings, have your guard up, and above all use common sense… meaning don’t give your cell number out to strangers. Especially those who try and create a relationship out of 10 minutes!  😉  Haha!
