All I wanted was a simple ride back home and nothing else. After I got in this man wouldn't stop commenting how "sexy" I looked in my dress. I told him thank you and my husband thanks you as well. On the short ride back the comments wouldn't stop. He explained to me he was done with work for the day and wanted to have a drink with me. I politely said "no thanks" and felt very creeped out when I was dropped off.
The next night the phone calls started. Apparently he captured my cell number when I left it unblocked the night before. For the next few nights I received a series of nasty, perverted voicemails about what he wanted to do to me. I was grossed out and also very scared since he knew where I lived.
I ended up having to go to court and filing a restraining order to stop this. When I was there filing the protective order a clerk informed me that two other women had also filed restraining orders against this man, Edison Krosi. I am not at all surprised at this.
Although the calls have stopped I am still scared. I often see this creepy man in the bandana hanging around bars here in Aliso Viejo late at night and assume he is looking for more than fares.

The Truth From An Employee
AUTHOR: Driver - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 01, 2013
I find practically all of this rubbish regarding Edison, completely inaccurate. First of all I'd like to address the "sex as payment" nonsense. This is a complete lie, at no time has Edison said to accept sex as payment, in fact he is very strict in avoiding any and all sexual conduct with a customer, even if customer is offering. It does not matter if they insist, find you attractive, they are sober or drunk, we are to avoid it under ANY circumstance.
In no instance are we advised to accept anything other than currency as payment. In fact we are strongly discouraged by Edison not to.
Secondly, I've know Edison quite awhile, years in fact and not as a customer, so I've got an inside look at things. Not once has he EVER drank with his customers while driving, although he loves his coffee. Again this is a point he strongly suggests, if a customer insists on sharing a drink with you, you may keep them company, but you are to never drink alcohol while working. If you make friends with these people, which happens often since I like to be very personable and engaging with customers, you may meet up after hours for a drink and probably call Edison for a ride home myself.
In regards to driving habits: this job requires us to arrive to locations with very little time to do so, we do our best to be safe, but be on time. Moreover, in the majority of fares the customer is in a hurry to get where they're going, if they request an expedited trip we do our best to accommodate that customer while adhering to the law the best we can. Although many of these people can get to these locations without the need for a driver, they rely on our knowledge of optimal routes, traffic conditions and a quick and safe journey. Moreover it becomes second nature to get your customer to their location quickly; however, if you ever feel uncomfortable with our expedited driving, which is very rare in my experience, just mention that you are in no hurry and are more comfortable at a leisurely pace. We are here to accommodate you and you alone, you are in control and we'll drive in circles for an hour if that's what you want.
Thank you,
Driver for Ciao Taxi.

The tone of the report shows emotional and mental instability. It is unprofessional to attack and individual and their business and I would not have wanted this to be done to me. I truly apologize that this review was written and will do what is in my power to have a full investigation of the original author who admits she was drunk by saying she needed a ride home from a bar. It is shameful that drunks get on line and write such things.

Reading through the phoney rebuttals he posted that he is a "businessman". I find that laughable. He is a low-class greasball pervert who stalked and harassed me until I got a restraining order. I saw him leering at women in the bar area again wearing that stupid bright yellow bandana on his head. Why would a 50 year old man wear something like this? What a creep!
I find it totally believable and fitting to his character that he is a deadbeat dad who threatened to smash his wife's face and brains in after chasing her down in his car. After what I experienced and witnessed it seems like this guy is very willing and capable to do these horrible things.
All I can say to anyone getting in his cab, especially women, be very very careful, this guy is bad news.

There have been MULTIPLE times where Edison was supposed to show up and at the last minute he doesn't or he sends some random guy that doesn't speak english and is rude. He called us TWO minutes before he was supposed to pick us up to go to a concert and said "sorry I can't pick you up." Why couldn't he have called us 15, 20, 30 mins before if he knew he couldn't get us??? We called another company and it took them 40 mins to get us. We were super late and missed half the show.
I have personally watched him take shots of alcohol at bars (so have my friends) and then drove off to pick someone up or picked us up smelling HEAVILY like alcohol. This explains why he drives so recklessly.
As for Angelica, the times we have used her she has been very professional, is ALWAYS on time or if she's not, she CALLS wayyyyy in advance to let you know. She never smells like alcohol when she is driving and you don't feel like your life is going to end when you get a ride from her. She drives the speed limit and drives safely. She wears womens business attire when she works to be a true professional, which she is. To say she sleeps with her clients is so ridiculous and slanderous, whoever posted that is obviously bitter or is trashy themselves. She is just trying to make a living and have someone in her life COUGH COUGH move on.
It's obvious who is wrong in this situation, especially after reading the harassment comments and restraining order. I think someone (wink wink) needs to chill out and leave people alone that want to be left alone so they can get home safely or do their job without being harassed while they are trying to make money and build a business.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/ciao-taxi-aliso-viejo?sort_by=date_desc
I do recollect seeing a review that got removed somehow( I think it's because there were two separate review pages for ciao taxi and yelp just kept the page with the most reviews) where a customer stated that edison had pick them up, and told the customer that he had been drinking wine, and he was making a joke about it. Obviously you people don't know the REAL Edison.
I don't know how you people can feel safe with this guy driving you around when he honestly gets a speeding ticket more often than he showers, true story. He's always coming into the Renaissance for drinks, and one of the cocktail waitresses had mentioned to me that he had told her about the divorce, and insisted that she would come over his place for some wine. Obviously he puts on a front to his loyal customers and only tells them what he wants them to hear.

legal declaration about Edison Krosi
AUTHOR: Bill Soujanen - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, July 15, 2012
IN RE MARRIAGE OF:
ANGELICA M. ESPINDOLA,
Petitioner,
v.
EDISON KROSI,
Respondent.
CASE NO. 10D003183
DECLARATION OF WAYNE W. SUOJANEN
Date Action Filed: 04/07/2010
DECLARATION OF WAYNE W. SUOJANEN
1. My name is Wayne W. Suojanen. I am an attorney, licensed to practice in California (Bar No. 193627). My law office has been located in Aliso Viejo, Orange County, California, since 2002, and I have resided in Aliso Viejo since 2004. I have known Petitioner, Angelica M. Espindola since at least 2003, and Respondent Edison Krosi since 2005. I met them when all of us lived in Aliso Viejo. Before Petitioner and Respondent divorced, we frequently socialized at the local Starbucks or at their apartment.
2. Ms. Espindola works as a chauffeur, driving her own limousine. On or about May 24, 2012, I drove with her in her limousine to pick up a client in Aliso Viejo, just off of Glenwood Drive. Ms. Espindola was driving the client to John Wayne Airport. As we left the clients condominium and drove down Glenwood Drive, just before the intersection with Enterprise, I observed Edison Krosi who works for a competing limousine service turn onto Glenwood Drive from Enterprise in his limousine in front of us. Mr. Krosi then stuck his arm up through the sun roof of his vehicle, holding a camera then a cellphone in his hand, and began photographing/videotaping us as we drove behind him and to his right. He continued photographing us until we reached the intersection of Glenwood and Aliso Creek Rd., at which point he sped off.
3. About 5-10 minutes later, we were heading north on the 405 Freeway. As we approached the Rt. 133 on-ramp to the 405, I observed Mr. Krosi drive down the ramp, enter the 405, and pull ahead of us. Again, Mr. Krosi stuck his arm up through the sun roof of his vehicle, holding a camera or cellphone in his hand, and began photographing/videotaping us as we drove behind him. He continued photographing us for several miles, at which point he sped off.
4. Ms. Espindola exited the 405 at MacArthur, dropped off her client at the American Airlines terminal at John Wayne Airport, and proceeded toward the airport exit. As we passed the next terminal, I saw Mr. Krosi waiting in his limousine. Again, Mr. Krosi began photographing/videotaping us as Ms. Espindola drove by him.
5. The client was shaken by Mr. Krosis conduct. Ms. Espindola was shaken by Mr. Krosis conduct, and she apologized profusely to her client for what was happening.
6. I was shaken by Mr. Krosis conduct, more so because I have read the terms of the Restraining Order expressly prohibiting him from surveilling, stalking, harassing, or following Ms. Espindola.
7. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated above and, if sworn, could and would testify competently to them.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the
foregoing is true and correct.
Executed this 18th day of June, 2012, at Aliso Viejo, California.

Nothing but Lies
AUTHOR: Tammy - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, June 12, 2012
Edison is nothing but a professional through and through. I have never seen him drink and drive, ever. If I ever would be in need of a ride late at night, he would be the first and only person I would call. I have recommended him to my friends and family to call when they need rides.
He is a workaholic if anything, but first and foremost he is a perfect gentleman. He is a loving a devoted father who adores his kids, and works so hard for them.
He has a heart of gold, and the person who wrote this is nothing but a vindictive, mean ex. It saddens me to read these lies about such a nice, caring man.
He has worked very hard to build the business he has by being on call 24/7. I have never seen anyone work harder than Edison. This person just wants to destroy what he has built by telling lies.
Their lack of maturity truly shows through their remarks about the bandana he wears. This report is nothing but lies and Edison is not even close to what this report is saying.
