On a random day, Maryam Hesham received a call from an unknown number. She didn’t answer and didn’t think much of it. She also ignored a follow-up message from the same sender, choosing not to engage. But then, the situation escalated. The driver crossed a clear line, and what started as a disregarded message turned into a serious case of harassment.
The driver, identified as Shehab Zaki, sent her an inappropriate photo of a naked woman and asked if she was the one in the image, a disturbing and unacceptable message with no connection to her.
Shocked and unsettled, she started digging to find out who the sender was. Initially, the only clue was a vague, tech-related Facebook page associated with the number. But after some searching, she discovered the number belonged to Shehab Zaki, the same driver from her recent ride.
He had misused her contact information from the app to target and harass her. Instead of staying silent, Maryam chose to speak out. She posted a video on her account, publicly sharing the full details of what happened. She confirmed that she is taking the necessary steps to legally charge the driver, not just for justice, but to ensure other women don’t go through the same experience.
