It’s striking how many users get a seemingly official Lyft prompt that leads to a shady link. The pattern points to a classic phishing scheme: the sender pretends to be Lyft, pushes a download, and hopes you click. Even if you ignore the link, the message can still harvest your number for future spam. To stay safe, never tap unknown links, verify any Lyft communication through the official app, and consider blocking the number. Report the text to your carrier and to Lyft’s fraud team so they can flag the source and protect other users.
