What is a paid girl scam?
A "paid girl scam" is usually a restaurant date extortion scam. Let me tell you an incident.
Last year, a
Delhi-based civil service aspirant met Varsha on the dating app Tinder. After a few days of conversation, they
decided to meet in person at Black Mirror Cafe in East Delhi's Vikas Marg area
to celebrate her birthday.
After reaching the
cafe, they ordered snacks, two cakes, and four non-alcoholic shots.
The "date"
was going quite well until Varsha had to rush out, stating there was a family
emergency.
As the man finished
the food and called for the check, the bill stunned him - he owed the cafe an
obscene 1,21,917.70 rupees for food that should not cost more than a few
thousand.
The victim promptly
disputed the bill, but he was threatened, confined, beaten and forced to
pay. The man ended up transferring the
amount online to one of the cafe's owners - 32-year-old Akshay Pahwa.
Afsan, whose fictitious names were Varsha, Ayesha, and Noor, Akshay, and other staff members involved in the scam were arrested on the victim's complaint. Following an investigation, it was discovered that the woman receives 15% of the bill, the managers receive 45%, and the owners receive 40%.
In order to maximize their
earnings, these girls collaborate with pub owners and staff to con people. And
let me tell you, most of the victims do not approach the police because a probe
may reveal to their family that they are meeting people via a dating app, so these
scams are very common and huge in number.
Keep safe and aware.
