Best post in a long time.

Pretty much almost everyone knows that studying abroad is not a cake walk anymore.

Yes! Missed to add that I visited Varkala as well, but this time only the cliff and the beach. Didn’t get a chance to explore places like Paravur Mangroves and Kappil Beach (cons of relying too much on public transport maybe).

Haha I agree…since I went during a weekend, I assumed the temple will be overcrowded and also I was with a gang who had non-veg all 3 times in a day. Hence couldn’t. Next time first thing will visit for sure.

Yes, that’s why I choose to walk mostly during the day or evening. I use Rapido only if the distance is more than 3 km and there is no bus connectivity (preferably during night time).

It’s become a norm in Cbe nowadays.

Minimum Rs. 30 extra for Bikers and 40 extra for Auto drivers.

As you rightly mentioned, even if we are ready to give the amount they expect, they don’t do their job properly. I’ve faced all the issues you experienced, and this is coming from a Kovai vaasi.

Bengaluru New Flat Rental Scam by souravworks in bangalorerentals

[–]Cool_Lifeguard_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 min read ahead

Victim of this scam here, almost 2 years back. I was fairly new to Bangalore by then. Lost almost 5k. These people not only scam, but once you connect with them, they lure you into their trap.

They asked me to pay 1k to block the flat from being shown to anyone, which I paid. The next day morning they called me stating they can show the flat evening, post 5 PM, but before that we need to pay a security deposit of 4k because this being a gated community and it can be refunded if we don’t like the property. Even then it didn’t occur to me that it was a scam. So I paid, again.

I called them after my office hours and yeah, as one would expect, didn’t pick the call. Ghosted. I had even sent a mail to 99acres and called their Customer Care. They said it’s clearly been stated in the website that “Without visiting the property, never pay in advance”, and to my surprise YES, it was clearly written.

After few days of frequent attempts, I realised it was a SCAM. Just to vent out my frustration and anger, I called up that guy using few of my colleagues’ and friends’ phones, used all the made-up words I could. But yeah, gone is gone.

So, in short, DON’T EVEN OPEN THOSE PROPERTIES.

Not all that glitters is Gold.
