Is this a new scam?

I have tried contacting people who have listed properties on 99acres/housing/no broker and the people who recieved my call(almost 99%) told me that I need to deposit 1000 or 1500 INR(only via online payment), upon receiving which they will create a visiting card for me. Once I have the visiting card, the property manager would be meeting me on the premises. Something seems fishy and leads me to not trust them. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? Please list your experience.

give some tips for someone who’s going to shift to bangalore super soon.

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido. I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this. Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops. Have you faced such things in this city?

Hi, as I was getting out of the hospital, an old lady unable to walk properly approached me and said she doesn't have money to buy BP, Sugar meds. She said that they didn't have the prescibed meds inside and I believed it. I was in a hurry so I didn't check if she was lying or now. I felt bad and gave her 500 rupees. Was I scammed? I, anyway, am writing this off as charity, but just wanted to know if it was legit or not.

Write about a time you made someone feel very nice. Hopefully it can be a collection of ideas that others can take forward. If somehow a few people do something nice as a result, that would be powerful. To start with an example: Bought a laptop for my grandfather because he wanted to continue working post 60. Helped him learn Excel, Gmail, Chrome browsing over many days. He really picked it up, and works as a consultant for new companies in the industry he worked all his life.

Today i got a call form an company name " Genique management services pvt lmt" , HR was asking to pay Rs. 3600 from me for technical assessment test . She also mentioned that the job location will be Canada / Australia 🤡

I’m sorry to put this story out today But it’s common to encounter Eunuchs at every big traffic light in Bangalore. They ask for money, usually you can say no respectfully and they go away. But off late whenever I deny; they’ve been more and more aggressive Cut short to today when a Eunuch pretty much pinched me very very hard on my arm just near my triceps. The whole area got swollen red. All this just because I didn’t want to give them my money today

Recently saw this news: https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/pune-man-undergoes-full-medical-check-up-before-joining-date-ends-up-losing-rs-24-lakh-2461256-2023-11-10 In March 2023, a man received a call from someone claiming to be a recruitment executive for a global carmaker's India unit. They convinced him he was shortlisted for a senior position but asked for a fee of Rs 1,600 to register. The scammers kept asking for more money over five months, including Rs 28,000 for a uniform, Rs 80,000 for a check-up, and Rs 2.4 lakh as a salary advance. . However, after paying around Rs 24 lakh in around 40 transactions, the man realized that he had been cheated -- How and why people fall for these? Also how they make over 40 transactions? Also a lot more people have fallen for scams than I initially thought. It's only when you tell them a story about other scams they tell their story.
