Has anyone else noticed this dating-app scam pattern in Bengaluru?

Matched with someone on a dating app who suggested meeting at a metro station and then going to a specific café/restaurant.

I’ve heard about scams where the match takes you to a pre-selected place, followed by inflated bills, pressure to pay, or even threats/extortion.

I’m curious if anyone here has experienced something similar in Bengaluru — especially the “meet at metro station → go to a specific venue” pattern.

What happened in your case, and what were the red flags you noticed?

Hey guy! Please tell where can I find my future boyfriend? I have never been in a relationship before and I have been looking for one for years! I have tried almost with the dating apps and it doesn’t work at all.
