[Nfbc-info] Rossen Reports: How To Avoid Fake Uber Or Lyft Drivers | TODAY

[Barcore]

If you are particularly worried about this, you can ask the driver their name, and who they’re looking for. This is how you would authenticate the driver. 

I have seen several instances where the car shown in the app is not the car the driver actually arrives in, so I think a name is actually a better approach. 

it is also possible to use aIra and rideshare together.
