I was horrified after a creepy taxi driver tracked me down on Facebook to ask me out three months after picking me up | The Sun

A WOMAN was left horrified after a "creepy" taxi driver tracked her down and asked her out – three MONTHS after theirjourney.

Miniver Larman, 25, caught a cab with Go Green Taxis from the station to her home in Oxford on March 5.


She said she had a pleasant journey and didn't think any more of it until last week, when she claims she received a message from her driver.

It read: "Hey! So since we had a lovely little chat in my taxi following your London theatre trip, your name has pretty much stuck in my head.

"Hope you don't mind me messaging, I'm wondering if you might like to go for a beverage sometime…"

Shocked Miniver, from Oxford, Oxfordshire, said: "When I saw the message I was just immediately shocked because you hear about these things happening but when it actually happens to you, you think how is this real?

"How has this person not realised how creepy it is?

"I started to feel unsafe about it because he dropped me off at my house."

She added: "I think it's really unprofessional and puts, especially women, in a really dangerous position.”

Referencing their conversation about Miniver's day at the theatre, the driver invited her to attend a free music, film and theatre festival with him in Southampton at the upcoming weekend [10-13 June].

But Miniver admits she found the offer "unprofessional" and was left feeling "unsafe" after the driver tracked her down knowing where she lived.

She said: "This taxi journey was [in March] which is why it was kind of confusing for me to see him in my message requests because it was quite a while after.

"He messaged me on Facebook so he must have saved my full name and searched and found me.

"It's an app so that's how he saw my full name on the booking. I do have quite a unique name so that doesn't help me."

The marketing assistant complained to Go Green Taxis, who apologised and said the matter would be "dealt with".

She also asked them to block the driver from picking up her fares in the future and urged the taxi firm to take disciplinary action against the man to "prevent another woman going through the same".

A Go Green Taxis worker responded: "I'm sorry to hear you had this bad experience with us.

"I will pass this onto my manager to be picked up in the morning and dealt with in the correct manner."
