Females taxi passengers might be all-too-familiar with dodgy drivers who continuously make them question their safety during the ride.
To combat this issue, social media users are pre-recording videos mimicking phone calls to signal to drivers that they aren’t the only people aware of their trip.
The fake phone calls could start with sentences like, “I can see your location.” Callers might also claim that they are sending someone outside to pick the recipient up, covertly sending out a warning to sleazy drivers attempting to harm female passengers alone in their cars.
There are also interactive “templates” created by social media users that prompt others to fill in the silences with their own speech to make the conversations believable.
