- A Bengaluru woman received a gift from a Bumble date without sharing her address
- The man allegedly accessed her PhonePe transactional data using her phone number
- He used Swiggy delivery longitude and latitude data to locate her address
A Bengaluru woman's date took a creepy turn when she received an unexpected gift at her home, despite never sharing her address with him. The woman shared the experience on Reddit, recounting how she had matched with a man on an online dating app, exchanged numbers, but was shocked to receive the surprise delivery.
The situation took a disturbing turn when it was revealed that the man, allegedly an employee of an online payment app, used the woman's phone number to access her transactional details. He then used the longitude and latitude of her delivery transactions to pinpoint her address on Google, and subsequently sent her a gift.
The woman's friend shared the details on Reddit, adding how the man continued to message her, intrusively asking about her spending habits, specific purchases, and transactions.
The post sparked outrage among netizens, with many calling for the woman to take action. Some suggested she contact the police, while others urged her to report the incident to the company and Human Resources.
One user wrote, "Creepy indeed, but I wonder how he got the exact flat number from the lat long."
Another commented, "It's a major security risk for basically all users; this needs to be reported as a security threat and reported to the authorities."
