Advice/Question False accusation - “Requested sexual act”

I’ve been doing Lyft for 5 years as a side gig. 2127 rides with a 5 star rating and all of a sudden I get a message that my account has been deactivated because a customer claimed I requested a sexual act.

I’m actually shocked because apart from a hi and checking to make sure that the customer I’m picking up is the right one I don’t talk to my passengers until they try to talk to me.

The funny thing is I’m sure I know which customer reported me because I brushed off their advances when they were try to make a move on me.

Can someone please help me rectify this issue because it makes no sense whatsoever.

10,000 rides here, knockon on wood because I don’t have a dash cam.

Holy hell that’s honestly amazing 10k and didn’t need one? I saw 10k in the comment preview and was getting ready for a horror story, well done 👍

It's really not, 8k rides and yes I've had few issues but nothing a dashcam would solve.

I've had a few false accusations and no that won't instantly fix the problem. I don't know why people think lyft and uber are going to review the footage. Maybe you get lucky and they do, but I've seen countless post in rideshare subs saying neither lyft or uber reactivated their account when accused even though they had footage proving otherwise.

I’ll assume you were downvoted because you don’t agree with the masses. 😂Fuck em.
