21 Year Old Woman Nearly Trafficked On Way Home From Austin Bar... Until She Did This
Monday, January 14th, 2019 | By Rachel Manfield

A 21 year old woman from Austin - Texas is coming forward with a story to warn other women and parents about the dangers of trafficking.

Olivia Dellert, a University student at the University of Texas - Austin campus, was walking home from a local bar with her husband and 4 of his friends when she was nearly taken and trafficked.

She says, "This is the most traumatizing thing that's ever happened to me. I have never told most people about this and I want to get the word out to other women about how easily this can happen, how quickly you can be caught off guard, and how even safe places can have predators. Women need to be prepared."

"It was terrifyingly similar to the actual movie Taken, but I never thought it could happen here in Austin. There is a very popular bar district downtown here, it's like a strip and super busy with college kids. I was 21 years old and I was out with my husband and 4 of his friends (all guys). So it was me and 5 decent sized men and this still happened.

We were all out drinking and having a great time. I had stopped on the busy street in front of one of the bars to talk to a door guy I knew, and my husband and the guys walked off in front of me. I had just said bye to the door guy and I was trailing behind the guys by about 15 feet. I was noticeably drunk, I was stumbling a bit. I'm a small woman, 90 lbs. Suddenly a car pulls over next to me and rolls down the window, it's a charismatic and good-looking guy in his 20s. He goes "Hey! I'm your uber! Get in" and unlocks the door.

I looked over and felt ever-so-slightly off and went "No, I didn't call an uber" and kept walking. The car started rolling along next to me and the guy is saying through the window "No you didn't call, your friend called. We're here to pick you up. Get in." And I stopped walking, for the slightest second, and glanced to the car with a funny face. By that point I knew it was weird. It was already happening so fast, maybe 20 seconds went by so far. As soon as my eyes landed on the car, the driver turned to the backseat and said something fast in another language.

The backdoor flies open and there are 2 other guys sitting there, about his same age, and they are all eastern-european (maybe greek?) with accents. My eyes went wide and the guys lunged forward, grabbed me by the waist and yanked me into the car. I was gone and in the car in under a second. I tried to scream in the loudest, most blood curdling way I could muster, NOOOOOOOO, but one of them had their hand trying to cover my mouth. That's when I remembered that my mom had given me a Scream Safe device which I keep on a lanyard around my neck. I pulled the pin and the Scream Safe started sounding the alarm. My husband's best friend about 15 feet ahead hears the Scream Safe, stops dead in his tracks and starts bolting towards me. The driver starts driving right away and the guys in the back try slamming the door behind me.

At that point they had my wrists but I stuck my leg between the car and the door right before he tried to slam it, so it bounced off my leg and my husband's best friend grabs the door. Then they pulled my leg in and were able to shut the door and lock.

I'm screaming, the Scream Safe is still going off, they're driving away. The rest of my group is running to us, the bouncer we were in front of comes running to me, and him and husband's best friend run after the car a few feet and yank me out of the still open window by my arms, while the car is still moving. I'm still screaming and kicking. On my way out of the car I kick the driver in the chest. They sped away, turned and were gone."

She continues recounting her scary story, "I'm crying. My husband is crying. The bouncer calls the police to report it. It's a whole scene. I left immediately, I rushed home in a panic and didn't stay around for the report. Don't know if anything ever happened with it. I never gave them my information. I was honestly so traumatized and in a state of shock that I never did anything or told anyone else. My friends that were with me (and my husband primarily) struggled with tremendous guilt for a long time. Nobody felt like they reacted fast enough, or harsh enough, or just that they let me lag behind at all. It changed all of us forever and I'm still terrified of being anywhere alone and of being taken. All I can say is I'm thankful that my mom had given me that Scream Safe before I went off to college. It probably saved my life!"

Her advice for other young women... "Be extremely wary of cab drivers and people claiming they are uber and lyft when you are out. Always confirm on the app that someone is your driver, and never stand too close to cars when you are on the sidewalk. I know that last one may seem paranoid, but if you are in a vulnerable position (I was drunk, dressed sexy, seemingly alone outside of a club), you need to be extremely wary of your surroundings and how quickly the unexpected can happen. I also think every woman should keep a keychain alarm like Scream Safe with them at all times."

After her attack, Olivia bought the Scream Safe for a bunch of her friends and her sisters.

"After the attack, I immediately bought 4 more Scream Safes for my friends and sisters."

With Over 50,000 Already Sold, The Scream Safe Is Starting To Go Viral On Social Media.

Inspired by the Military, the Scream Safe uses ear piercing sound (over 130 decibels) to deter bad guys and is quickly becoming one of the most sought after safety devices in America.

It's not just important for women to carry a keychain alarm though. Massive orders are coming in from parents everywhere who are teaching their young children how to use it. On top of that, Scream Safe just announced a whopping 50% discount on their Tactical Keychain for new customers (including the general public), while supplies last.

But the Scream Safe isn’t just to help protect you, your kids and your grandkids from an attack. It can also be used as a life saving device to call for help if you’re having a heart attack or have some other health condition that can prevent you from yelling for help.

Don't let your worst nightmare become your reality. Safety doesn't happen by accident. Purchase a personal alarm for yourself, for your child, or for a loved one. The Scream Safe is particularly suitable for teenagers, parents, night owls, delivery route employees, business owners, and college students, or the elderly who may need to call for help. The keychain design is perfect for use with house keys or car keys. It can also be attached to a backpack or a purse. For the month of January 2019 they will also donate $0.25 for every alarm sold to the Action Against Abduction charity.
