Has happened to the best of us
[QUOTE=CosmosLib;2534311]I am based out of the US and currently in India for work. I have a set procedure for mongering in the US and was not sure about the Indian scene. And buying a membership here is tricky since my better half has access to my credit card statements and any out of the ordinary expenses will raise an eyebrow. So, anyway, coming to the embarrassing and anger inducing event that happened today:
I got done with work pretty early and wanted to monger out for the first time since I moved to Noida. I do not speak Hindi (but am an Indian) and I contacted this SP (number ending in 811) I found on Skokka. He seemed to converse in broken English, which was a relief to me since none of the others I contacted seemed to even want to converse in English. He sent a bunch of pictures which were too good to be true. I confirmed with him plenty of times asking if he is sure that the girls he showed in the picture were actually available. He confirmed and asked me to come to the atta metro station. I went there and he shared my contact with his so called driver (number ending in 934) who came in less than fifteen minutes of me reaching there. And he got down from the car and demanded the money (5 k for 3 hours). I waited till the girl got down from the car and she was wearing a mask. I asked him to remove mask to confirm if she was the same girl. He said can't remove mask since it is covid and all kind of crap. And by that time I got a little annoyed since I was in the mood for some action and not ready to argue with the "driver". So got the girl to climb inside my car so that she could direct me to her place. That was the first red flag. I was surprised since I thought I was going to go with them to the place. Along with this girl another one climbed inside the car out of nowhere and started saying we have to go to a hotel and for that we need a refundable deposit of 5 k. I was sure I was caught in a scam by then and wanted to get out. I finally asked them to remove the mask or get out of the car..[/QUOTE]This scam is really prevalent in Noida and close by areas, I was too was a victim of this sham. Anyway there is nothing you can do about it, forget about the money. As for future mongering expeditions for starters don't go on sites like Skokka or Locanto they are all shit and full of looters. If you want a quick release you can try spas in Shopprix mall but they are not that good tbh, I won't advice you to go to atta market spas as LE has been really active there recently.
If you can buy Bitcoin on the behest of investing them as Bitcoin is on the rise and then get a membership here that would be best for you.
Thank you all you kind bros
Thank you very much all you kind souls who have mentioned encouraging words about how these frauds have basically been a part of every monger's life. Doesn't make me feel better, but still, having company helps.
With all of this encouragement, I have made an attempt to buy a subscription. Let us see if it turns out good.
In the meantime, can anyone provide hints about spas that a non-Hindi speaking person could visit and not get fleeced? I will make sure to put in a FR after visiting one!

Any idea about these girls
Found these girls around Laxmi nagar. Has anyone tried them in past. Too good to believe. Hence better to verify.
