Summary
- Man met date from Bumble, who suggested a Delhi bar.
- Date ordered excessive drinks, leading to a Rs 22,000 bill.
- Man negotiated bill down to Rs 4,000 after threats.
A Gurugram resident recently fell victim to a dating app scam in Delhi, finding himself facing a substantial Rs 22,000 bill. After matching with a woman named Jiya Negi on Bumble, he agreed to meet her in the city. The date progressed to a cafe and lounge in GTB Nagar, where the woman began ordering a large quantity of alcohol.
During the evening, the man noticed unfamiliar men following him outside the establishment. He also observed that his date was ordering drinks without consuming much food. When the bill arrived, it was excessively high, with his own orders accounting for only a small portion.
Aware of potential scam tactics, the man refused to pay the full amount. Citing connections to influential people, he successfully negotiated the bill down to Rs 4,000. He then paid the reduced sum and left the venue, later sharing his experience online to warn others about similar dating app traps.
