Actress Lili Reinhart is warning all her fans to be careful when using taxis and rideshare apps after a scary incident happened to her at an airport.
On Monday, the “Riverdale” star took to Twitter to share a public service announcement with her fans after allegedly being lured to a car by a nefarious imposter. The actress sent two messages to her followers on Twitter explaining the situation and warning them to make extra-sure they identify their driver as a professional before getting in the car.
“PSA: I was just ushered to a car by someone posing to be an airport cab/Uber driver. I got to his car and there were absolutely no signs that he was a professional service driver. So I did NOT get into the car,” Reinhart wrote.
She continued: “Please pay attention and make smart decisions out there.”
In a follow-up tweet, the 22-year-old actress warned people against letting politeness get in the way of safety.
