Fake Uber Drivers Charged in Separate Cases With Rape & Murder
Geez…Do you use Uber, or any of the pick up services out there?
While this post is focused primarily on females, men would do well to take note as well; on behalf of themselves and family members.
In recent days, a woman has been raped, and another murdered by the hands of posers, saying they are the requested Uber driver.
On the surface this is alarming; but, those who rely on ride sharing deem it quite safe, as the information matching the driver to the app is ‘extensive,’ including face recognition.
I am one who finds it difficult to hop into a cab, let alone with a stranger in an unmarked vehicle; but, I’m sure I’d adjust if the need arose.
That said, the women in these attacks were too reliant on a word of mouth acknowledgment that these were legitimate UBER drivers.
Neither of them were on their A-games that night, as one was inebriated, and the other had just left a birthday party at a bar.
As a result, sadly one was raped before being dropped off at home; and the other was murdered and later found in the suspect’s trunk.
Smh, quite tragic; and in both instances avoidable had the women used the precautions made available.
I guess this post is just a heads up to all, that we live in a fallen world, full of fallen people; and no one, especially strangers can be trusted. Verify, verify, verify.
I’ll end with one suggestion: Females would be wise to request women drivers only. I presume that’s an option. If not, it’s certainly something worthy of the suggestion box.
