Delhi Man Duped In ‘Tinder Date Scam’, Slapped With Rs 50,000 Cafe Bill News24 –

A Delhi-based man claimed that he was cheated through a Tinder date scam at a Karkardooma cafe after receiving a hefty bill of over Rs 50,000. He posted the bill on Reddit. Netizens reacted to his post by sharing their own experiences and advising others to exercise caution.

Through the dating app, the man agreed to meet a girl at the café. He stated that initially everything was normal, but after some time the staff began serving expensive items without showing a proper menu. Later, they handed him a hefty bill of Rs 50,418.

He wrote on reddit, “I matched with someone on Tinder and we decided to meet at a café in Karkardooma. The place was on the 2nd floor in Chawla’s building, right beside the HP petrol pump near the metro station.

Everything seemed normal at first, but once we ordered, the staff kept pushing expensive items and didn’t show the menu properly. At the end, they handed me a bill of Rs 50,000+ for just food and drinks. I’ve attached the bill here as proof.

This is clearly a scam setup where they lure people (mostly through dating apps) and then rip them off with absurdly high bills. I don’t want anyone else to get trapped in this.

Please be careful if someone insists on meeting at such unknown cafés, especially around metro stations. Always check reviews online before going inside.”

Another user wrote while commenting on his post, ” Hey, something similar happened with my relative’s son in Kolkata.

He filed a consumer fraud case against the restaurant claiming the restaurant added extra items without his knowledge and forced him to pay.

These shady restaurants don’t usually have cameras so he lied about not ordering anything except a single item.

Consumer court ordered in his favour, that no way, a single college student has consumed that much drinks and food worth 35,000₹ and compensated him 75,000₹ and fined the restaurant 1.5 lacs.”
