LOnce I fell in a similar Scam. I was at the Airport going to Delhi for an internship. This was my first time ever staying alone in a city. While at the airport I thought I would book PG. I shortlisted a few based on Google feedback and tried contacting the number given on Google page.
Upon Texting , he sent photos.
There were too many photos. But I was gullible thinking google ratings are good so this would be genuine. The rent was 9k and that was my budget
First he asked for a random booking amount of 2063.
I sent him 2063. But he said no send 2036. I told return the previous amount but he hesitated and said will return later once the room is booked. So I sent 2036.
Now at this moment I started feeling something is wrong.
Now after sending 4k+. He asked for 5000 for some other charges. How stupid I was, I sent that too.
Now I called him, he was talking rudely and asked 3k more for GST. Again I sent him. I realised I have paid him 12k+. Now my bank balance was close to 0
Again he started asking for more money and now I was fully convinced It was a Big Scam.
I told my father, and he told me you are scammed and won’t get your money back. He gave me 12k again.
It has been 2 years since this incident. The only thing I promised myself after this incident is that I would never get scammed again. And always think twice before paying a big amount
