Harley Quinn Smith, the daughter of Kevin Smith, has revealed she was almost kidnapped by “fake Uber drivers” in Los Angeles.

The actress wrote a message on her Instagram page, warning her 70,000 followers to be wary and report the vehicle if they encounter it.

“I was just standing outside a Starbucks in Brentwood, where I was waiting for my Uber when a large, beige car drove up to me and tried to get me to think they were my Uber.”

Smith then provided a description of the driver and passenger (white men around 20-30 years-old) and said they had an “Uber sign on their front window, but they were most definitely not Uber drivers.

“When I asked who they were there to pick up, making sure it was the right car, they wouldn’t answer me and said to get in the car. They didn’t have the Uber app on their phone and were clearly just two disgusting dudes trying to kidnap a girl standing on her own.”

She advised her followers: “Protect yourself and never ever get in a car without checking that it’s the correct car first!!!"

The 16-year-old said she had reported the incident to the police and urged her followers to keep an eye-out so that the men can’t “prey on other young girls”.

Smith later shared a picture of a cake which her father Kevin, the director and star of 2001’s Jay & Silent Bob, had giver her which had the message “Sorry men suck” iced across it.

She captioned the image: “Just when I was about to lose faith in humanity after almost being kidnapped today, my Dad got me this cake and made me remember that some people, like himself, make the world a lot better.”

Smith is currently promoting the film Yoga Hosers, which is directed by her father. The film also co-stars Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.
