Another incident of a dating app scam has come to light where a man was compelled to pay a 22,000 restaurant bill in Pune..
The victim found a match on the Bumble app on 30 September this year..
"When the printed bill came it was 22,000," the man wrote. . Further, the man said that his date told him that he needed to pay the bill else the the owner of the restaurant could damage his car..
"She said this bill needs to be paid or bar restaurant guys can damage your car in the parking and they have your car number with which they can find your address through RTO contacts and will connect double the amount at your home if you run away...I had to pay the bill of 22,000 ..."..
This is a common strategy these days where the bar owner and management get young and attractive girls to match rich folks on Bumble and get them in their restaurant for dinner dates and then loot them with exorbitant pricing, blackmail, etc," a user wrote..
