[CT-NFB] Uber and Lyft

[Esther Levegnale]

Hi, Deb and Everyone,

I have used Uber and Lyft for many years now and whenever they pull up, they always ask if I'm Esther.  Also, you are given their name and what make and color the car is.  Of course, the color doesn't matter to us, but they always ask if I'm Esther.  The driver's name is also given in the description of the vehicle.

I hope that helps you somewhat.  If you want me to call you or you call me and ask more questions, don't hesitate to do so.  Love to help as always!

Hope you, George and your family are doing well.

Take care.

It seems as though that would be much safer than sending a description and license plate of the car since most of us would not be able to see that. How would someone know that it was actually an Uber or a Lyft driver or just someone posing as one. Does anyone know if this issue has been addressed with these companies?
