I am a girl, a student studying in Delhi, away from my parents trying to do the best I can to take care of myself. I had taken up a Gym membership at One Gym, Vijay Nagar, Delhi a month ago. It had really hood reviews online and a few friends who went to this gym said it was decent as well.

I asked for a trial class and it was a Sunday, with no one else but me using the gym and a guy sitting at the counter near the entrance. Kinda eerie but I liked it anyway so I went up to the counter to get myself registered. We had negotiated for 2500 rupees for two months. He asked me to pay upfront and I thought he might not keep his words if I paid later so I paid. I also went through their guidelines books and asked basic stuff about the trainer and other equipment. They had not mentioned anything about the use of their equipment on their guildlines.

A few days later, I was on the treadmill and the staff tells me that treadmill can be used only for 10 minutes but I only use the treadmill and I need atleast 30 minutes of its usage. The person who came and told this to me was very rude and made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed in front of the others. They were all guys, maybe one other girl and all of them were staring at me. I wanted to yo talk to him about this rule which I didn’t know existed but the guys were all sitting together, talking and laughing and it made me feel kinda unsafe and scared as to what might happen if I confronted him about not telling me about this earlier. Had I known this, I wouldn’t have registered at all.

My friends and parents advised me not to go to the gym which is why I asked a refund of rupees 2000. I had paid 2500 for two months but I asked back only 2000 since I had been to the gym 3 times. However I got to know that they charged me extra (1250 per month) and made me pay upfront while a few others had paid 1000 rupees per month at the end of the month.They have have been charging different prices for different people, less for girls and more of guys. They also don’t have a GST number on their slip. When I asked the owner for it, they initially said they will look into it but did not give it to me.

They have been very rude and dishonest with me. They even told me to do whatever I want but the will not give me the money. Now I am seeking my 2500 rupees bahttps://maps.app.goo.gl/yBa6mtiEsP4SBQvb6?g\_st=icck, which is not exactly a small amount for a student like me.

I have registered a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline but since the gym doesn’t have a formal business mail, NCL reps are telling me that they won’t be able to take action.

Please help me out. Any sort of advice will be appreciated

TL;DR: I joined One Gym, Vijay Nagar, Delhi, paying ₹2500 upfront for two months after unclear guidelines and misleading promises. Later, staff rudely restricted treadmill use to 10 minutes, making me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. They refused my refund request, charged inconsistent fees, lacked GST details, and dismissed my complaints despite dishonest behavior.

I booked a star air ticket on 23 April 2026, from Goa to Bangalore through Paytm. Star air cancelled the flight on 29th April and they informed me that they would refund the full amount back to the 3rd party (Paytm). They also confirm about 10 days back they the have refunded the money back to Paytm.
I’m rigorously trying to get my money back from Paytm, I’m raised a support ticket about 20 days back, with all the details and proofs but no reply on that.
I’m constantly messaging and posting on “X” and on “Instagram”, I’ve received only 1 reply a week back stating that they are checking on it but no reply since then. Absolutely ZERO support and help.
What are my options? How can I proceed further to get my refund ?
I’m also attaching screenshots of my messages, posts and emails

I foolishly became a victim of this MobiKwik wallet scam. Please read the text to save yourself and forward it to your loved ones.

If you see your favorite influencers posting about "90% off Amazon deals," DO NOT CLICK IT. A massive, highly sophisticated scam is draining bank accounts right now. Here is exactly how it works so you can protect yourself and your family:

👉 The Hook: Scamsters buy ads or compromise influencer accounts to promote "secret 90% Amazon discounts."

👉 The Trap: They lure you into a WhatsApp group and instruct you to load money into your MobiKwik wallet to buy the discounted items.

👉 The Heist: To "help" you process the order, they get you on a Google Meet video call. Once you share your screen, they tell you to turn on Do Not Disturb (DND) so you don't see incoming SMS alerts.

👉 The Drain: While watching your screen, they log into your MobiKwik wallet from their device, intercept your OTP via your screen-share, and completely drain your balance into their bank accounts. They will keep repeating this until you catch on and hang up.

Spread the word. Don't let your friends fall for "too good to be true" discounts.

⚠️ Never share your screen on Google Meet/Zoom with strangers, and never turn on DND during a financial transaction.

This Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus in Delhi seems to be a Hotspot for Cafe scammers. Connected with many lowlife scammer girls from there. This one just had too many filters applied😅 Should be reported though.

Hi the website vaptobuy.com is a fraud website, they will ask for prepaid order not COD. Moreover they will ask for 4,999 as a security deposit that they will refund. They will also threaten you saying that vapes are illegal and if you refuse to pay the additional amount they will threaten to send delivery boy to the police station which they obviously don't. Please don't buy from this website, it's a sure shot way of losing money.

This is the modus operandi, now in Delhi.

SCAM ALERT 🚨
This is a HUGE scam happening at a Bharat Petroleum outlet on Kengal Hanumanthaiah Road, Sudhama Nagar, Bengaluru. - and judging by the reviews and people who spoke up there, this has been going on for a long time.

Me and my friends went there to fill petrol. My friend asked for a full tank. The employee (name: Krishna) started the meter, ran it till ₹100, distracted her by showing the QR code for payment, then secretly pressed “continue” and kept filling till ₹410.

After that, he shamelessly asked her to pay ₹510 — claiming it was ₹410 + the ₹100 already shown before. The problem? I literally SAW the meter continue from ₹100. He then lied saying it started from zero.

When we asked for the bill, he refused, rushed us to move, and kept giving excuses.

What shocked us even more was that the EXACT same scam happened to our friends right behind us. This time, they refused to pay without the bill. Guess what? The bill showed ₹300, but they were asked to pay ₹400.

When confronted, the employee suddenly switched to emotional drama saying he would “lose his job” and begged us not to escalate it.

Meanwhile, multiple people at the bunk joined the conversation saying they had faced similar scams there — including for bigger amounts in cars and other vehicles.

And when we asked for the manager? That’s when it became obvious this wasn’t just one employee.

Later, we checked Google reviews for this bunk and found MANY people describing the exact same scam pattern.

This is not a “small mistake.”
This looks like a systematic scam targeting hundreds of customers through meter manipulation, fake totals, distraction tactics, and coordinated cover-ups.

Honestly shocking that such open fraud is happening at a Bharat Petroleum outlet in Bengaluru.

This NEEDS attention.
Please share this so more people stop getting cheated.
PLEASE ASK FOR YOUR BILL BEFORE PAYING.

@BharatPetroleum — this deserves immediate investigation and strict action.

DO NOT REDEEM squad permanently shattered the image of indians globally. And now these ch****** are ruining the already damaged image of pakistanis.

🚨 Beware of this broker!🚨

I want to warn everyone to stay cautious when dealing with certain property brokers. I recently had a terrible experience where a broker took ₹5000 from me as a booking/processing amount. After finalizing the flat, instead of proceeding honestly, he started demanding additional money with new excuses.

His mobile number is :- +91 8859817598

UPI ID is- 8859817598@ptsbi

Name is Dinesh on UPI apps

This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Once terms are agreed upon, no one should be pressured into paying extra hidden charges.

Please be careful, don’t pay any amount without proper written agreement, and always verify the credibility of the broker before trusting them with your money.

If anyone else has faced something similar, feel free to share your experience so others can stay alert.

When I started asking him for money back he clearly said he will not return the money. He is a fraud please beware of the above given number

Stay safe and aware! ⚠️

Hi guys please beware of this girl on dating apps. She goes by the name of Hannah (I doubt this is even her real photo. Probably stolen from someone else)

Actual name is Clémentine Lobo. She asks you to transfer the money to her upi ID saying it's her moms account as she borrowed from her mother. That's how I know.

She lures guys with her sweet talks and invites them to a party that doesn't exist. Then offers to pay the amount, shows fake tickets after which she asks you pay.

I'm attaching her details here so you know it's her.

Her links :

getduo.co.in

Her numbers:

+91 96049 32858 - Main number which she gets you on and sweet talks you.

+918698715975 - Business number she uses for booking.

I'm guessing she's not working alone and probably has a small team who is running this massive dating scam.
