Always protect yourself first
[QUOTE=MisterAnderson;2889970]Girl A: Asked me to come to Bhugaon. Asked landmark, she said 'Sky Songbird'. Asked her in which cafe or restaurant she wants to meet. She didn't tell any name, despite me repeatedly asking she said We'll see some good place nearby and go there. Since Bhugaon is quite far, I didn't go.
Girl be: Exchanged phone numbers on first day of chatting itself. Asked me to come to Someshwara temple, Baner.
Asked her in which cafe or restaurant she wants to meet. She didn't tell any name, despite me repeatedly asking she said We'll see some good place nearby and go there.
I suggested her to meet in Westend mall or some other good cafe's nearby, but she insisted on meeting at the temple. Then she said we can meet at Bhugaon also, and when asked about the landmark, she said Sky Songbird (exactly same as the previous girl told). I told her we'll either meet in westend mall which is close to her home or any other mall of her choice otherwise we will cancel the plan, after which she did not reply.
Both girls had multiple red flags I. E. Asking to meet so quickly, not telling name of location, exchanging whatsapp number within a day. I thought she's a CG and she'll tell about her rates on whatsapp but she did not. Both girls telling the same landmark in Bhugaon. So basically I knew that it was a scam but wanted to know what kind of scam they were planning.
Then I remembered having read something about dating-cafe scam in bhugaon some months back. Googled for it. Found it.

Then I googled for bars / cafes around Someshwara temple and found a similar cafe named Opus Club & Lounge barely 200 meters from the temple that runs the same scam. It has multiple google reviews about the exorbitantly priced hookah and shots etc. Found on reddit that a user got scammed in similar manner at this place.

So, the girl hasn't replied after I told her we'll meet only in a mall and my money is safe.
Thanks everyone for warning and raising red flag.[/QUOTE]You did right thing bro. Saw your first post today o / w would have pm you.
I feel if we are seeking we have to be careful till we can trust 100%. I also did this some time back and what I have seen is copy of profiles who are inde, CG etc are on dating sites. If someone has good memory or photogenic memory to be precise you can make out who is suspect CG / inde some times. Also most inde / CG won't meet just for coffee first (there are exception but very few) & normal girl won't meet straight away. They might take some time.
I always try to play in my comfort zone most times. Like if I have to meet someone I will ask to meet in area I know well. Won't travel too far at unknown territory. Also if I am meeting someone in hotel and that is first time with no recommendation, then it will be of my choice and area. Never meet someone at place and hotel they want if I am paying. I miss out due to this on some girls but that's fine. Because safety first is my aim.

Kinky surprise for my GF on valentines day. Pl. Help
Sky is the limit, but pimping her in a club is top of the list!
She is v classy, smart, sexy, petite, young & very kinky. South Mumbai chic who can really handle all classy guys. Has a thing for mature men!
Any suggestions on which club would be an upmarket place where we can work on this fantasy. Need a place ideally dark, good music, great crowd, and known for men on lookout. Ideally attached to a hotel, but not a must. Should not be shady from safety / security perspective.
While we are based in south Mumbai, we are equally exploring Pune as an option, so need recommendations for such a club in Pune.
