On Monday, Wagga man Grant Higginson told The Daily Advertiser he was approached by a fake Uber driver in the early hours of Sunday morning, prompting warnings to users to double-check driver and license details before entering a rideshare vehicle.

Now another woman has revealed she was approached just 10 minutes before Mr Higginson was, in the same spot on Baylis Street.

The local woman works in health and asked to remain anonymous for security reasons.

She said she and three friends were approached while waiting for their Uber which, according to the app tracking the ride, should have been a white Hyundai.

The man was in the passenger seat of a black, Mazda BT-50, the woman said, with another man driving.

"I was scanning the street and a car pulled up and asked if I was waiting for an Uber and I said I was," she said. "Then he said 'I'm your Uber' and I said 'no you're not, you're not a white Hyundai.'"

The time was between 1.10am and 1.16am and the woman quickly crossed the road to get away from the man.

She said he hadn't been menacing, but it was clear to her he wasn't joking.

"I just thought it was weird and I walked straight past him," she said

"I was so focused on waiting for a white Hyundai, but if someone wasn't as focused on what they were waiting for they could easily have gotten in the car."

After spotting Mr Higginson's social media post, she decided to notify police, saying she phoned in a report on Sunday.

Riverina Police have not provided comment.

A Uber spokesperson previously said they advised riders to use the safety elements built into their ridesharing app to avoid getting into the wrong car.

"[Our] advances in safety are important - but for them to be effective, riders need to be in the right car," the spokesperson said.

"We provide driver photos and number plates in the app so riders can confirm it's the right person picking them up before getting in.

"If the driver doesn't match the photo or number plate, we encourage riders to report it to Uber right away so we can take action."
