If she insists she needs a deposit for travel send a rideshare to pick her up and emt the driver a small amount first for showing up at the pickuo kocation and waiting and the agreed amount forthe ride to the dropoff point once the rideshare verifies he has the passanger. If no one shows up your only out $10 or whatever the first pickup amount with the driver was. And if shes real she has her ride and you avoided the deposit. She doesnt like rideshare? Ask the cab company to call you instead once it has the passanger and pay the cab directly when she is dropped off. Or leave cash at the front desk to cover the ride. Whatever. Pay the driver fir the travel.
If she needs gas for travel tell her to catch a cab or rideshare i stead and leave her car parked. A real provider wont have an issue with this. Only a dcammer would iinsist on a deposit being sent .
Those are my thoughts to avoid being scammed.
