A Thane man’s Tinder date took an unexpected turn when he was scammed by both his date and the restaurant. What started as a promising evening out ended with him being hit with a staggering bill of Rs 44,000. The incident was shared on Reddit by a user who posted an image of the hefty bill.

Along with the image, the user warned, “Guys, beware. Tinder scam Posting bill of one of the restaurants one of my friends went on a date with a girl..name of hotel: Hotel de grandeur, royal plaza building, bhakti park, Anand nagar, thane.”

The bill revealed that the person on the date ordered 18 Jaggerbombs, two Red Bulls, French fries, salted peanuts, four chocolate truffle cake and a special mix, totalling to Rs 44,829. The date mentioned on the bill indicated that the incident took place on June 12.

Shocked by the exorbitant bill, the Reddit user shared that his friend called the police and the amount was reduced by only Rs 4,000. Despite this, he still ended up paying Rs 40,000.

Since being shared, the post gained significant attention online with users flooding the comment section with their varied reactions.

One user pondered, “Were the 18 Jager bombs actually ordered ? Or just shows up on the bill as 18 ? CCTV maybe to prove ? It’s a tough situation. How do you prove you’ve been scammed ? Unless you’re sure you didn’t order that many shots, you still need a witness/evidence.”

Another quipped, “Did anyone notice the “thank you.. visit again” at the end of the bill.”

A commenter shared, “Well why don’t people just check the price on the menu card before ordering? Like he must have checked the price before ordering right?”

Someone else exclaimed, “That bill amount is my monthly salary.”

Another user simply asked, “Who drinks 18 jager bombs.”

A few days ago, a similar incident came to light when an IAS aspirant matched with a woman named Varsha on Tinder and planned to meet her. They celebrated her birthday at a cafe in Delhi ordering two snacks, two cakes and four shots of a non-alcoholic beverage. The evening took a sudden turn when the woman named Varsha claimed a family emergency and abruptly left.

The man was shocked to receive an exorbitant bill of Rs 1.2 lakh. When he questioned the amount, he was threatened and coerced into paying it. He transferred the amount online to one of the cafe owners, Akshay Pahwa. The man filed a complaint following which the police questioned Akshay. He revealed the details about the scam and the true identity of Varsha as 25-year-old Afsan Parveen. The police arrested Afsan using technical surveillance.
