"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," the post read,

"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."

The man urged others to be careful if someone insists on meeting at such unknown cafes, especially around metro stations. He suggested that one should always check reviews online before going inside.

While responding to the post, one user wrote, "Go again and order or ask the price of one of the same expensive things. I'm sure they won't be charging those exuberant charges to all customers. You will have enough proof."

"Now this scam has become more sofisticated... they dnt add exrta things but get the girl to order every thing... and everything comes to the table... and police are also involved with them," another wrote.

"When are people gonna learn? This didn't just start, it's been going on since 2024," a third user wrote.
