16-Year Old Actress Almost Gets Kidnapped By Fake Uber Drivers

Uber has become one of the most convenient,
safest, ways to get around the city. Despite this,
you must still take precautions and never let your
guard down. 16 year old Harley Quinn Smith,
daughter of Kevin Smith, had a very scary
experience and luckily was able to think fast.
According to Harley, the incident occurred at a
Los Angeles area Starbucks as she waited for her
Uber car to arrive. She says that a large, beige
car drove up to her and attempted to convince
her they were her Uber. Inside the car were two
white male, aged 20-30. They also had an Uber
placard in their window. Harley says that she
began to notice something was fishy, so she
started asking questions.
"When I asked who they were there to pick up,
making sure it was the right car, they wouldn't
answer me and said to get in the car," Harley
says. "They didn't have the Uber app on their
phone and were clearly just two disgusting dudes
trying to kidnap a girl standing on her own."
She tells Good Morning America, “The second I
started talking to them, I realized they were
definitely not Uber drivers. They had just printed
out the Uber symbol and put it at the front of
their car.”
With all of the parties for Super Bowl, All Star
Weekend, Valentine's Day and CIAA coming up,
it's important to be safe. When ordering an Uber,
always make sure that the Name, Face, Car &
License Plate on the app matches the car that
you are getting into. Also ask the driver to
confirm their name, or who they are here to pick
up. NEVER get into an Uber if there is someone
else in the passenger's seat (unless you are doing
Carpool). If there is more than one person, cancel
your trip and file a complaint with Uber.
Stay safe guys!!
Despite the scary ordeal, Harley says that she has
not given up on her favorite ride service. “I
proceeded to take an Uber because you can’t let
things like that stop you from living your life,” she
tells Good Morning America.
