Woman confirms she was about to be picked up by fake cab

Fortunately, just a few minutes later, her original cab driver in the Matrix arrived at the scene.

She double-checked the details on her app and confirmed that the number plate matched.

Reacting to the entire incident which had just unfolded, the Matrix driver reacted in a confused manner just like Allison.

This raised suspicions about the aim of the fake cab driver. To make matters worse, the two drivers wore dark shades.

Allison wrote;

“Something veryyyyyyy strange just happened I booked a ride and it’s a lady with a black Toyota Matrix. She called to say she’s outside. I go out, she’s parked at house 5. Once I came out, a Toyota Corolla parks just in front of me (a lady too) and asks me to come in.

"I looked up and saw the Matrix and I told her I think the person she came to pick up isn’t out yet cos my app says a Matrix, not Corolla. Tell me why this lady goes yes I know, my Matrix is at the mechanic, so I’m using this one now and I came to pick you up. I told her she didn’t come to pick me up cos I can see the Matrix I’m supposed to go with and she still insisted that it’s me she came to pick up, that her Matrix is at the mechanic.
"Matrix drives down to where we were, I checked my app and the number plate was what I had on the app and I went with her. Even the Matrix was confused after I told her what happened cos how exactly??? I was told she left as soon as I did.

"You’re being tracked guy, this is not an innocent mistake."

Royalty commented:

"That's a kidnapper especially if the doors are bad or the car has no plate number. As long as it does not match with the car you're expecting, do not enter. She does not have a Toyota Matrix. She lied. Be familiar with their games."
