They've made the first transaction from some other company or something and are asking for money on some other UPI ID. I'll not return the money to them. I'm afraid if my account will be frozen if they file a complaint against me.
I've transferred around 1 lakh rupees to my other account. Around 89k is remaining in this account including the 49k they've sent.
What should I do next?
While I was returning home, a guy on a scooty stopped me. He said he desperately needed cash and asked if I could withdraw money from an ATM for him. He promised to instantly transfer the amount to my bank account via UPI.
The Red Flags:
We went to the nearby Bank of Baroda (BOB) ATM just beside the subway. The plan was to use the UPI QR code withdrawal feature (where you scan the ATM screen and enter your PIN on your phone to dispense cash).
Suddenly, he pulled out a stack of ₹500 notes to show me he "had money," but then immediately initiated a withdrawal on the ATM for ₹10,000 and asked me to scan the QR code and enter my PIN to dispense the cash from my account.
That was the final straw. I stopped right there and confronted him: "If you already have a stack of cash right in your hand, why do I need to withdraw 10k from my account?"
He immediately got defensive and said, "I'm not going to cheat you," (in tamil) but I backed out and left.
Never open your payment apps in front of strangers, and never let them touch or look at your screen. The way he kept talking fast to confuse me is a classic scammer tactic so you don't have time to think.
Has anyone else experienced something similar in Chennai or run into this specific guy near Beach Station?

Here’s what happened:
I placed an order from KFC through Zomato and paid for it online, including a coupon.
Shortly after, I received a call from someone claiming to be from KFC. He said that due to a technical issue, Zomato couldn’t fulfill the order and that KFC would send its own delivery partner.
He took my personal number and told me that my Zomato order would be cancelled and that I should pay the same amount directly to the delivery person when the order arrived.
I specifically asked about the amount I had already paid and the coupon. He said I just needed to pay the same final amount.
Right after the call, I received a WhatsApp message asking for my delivery address.
Later, he sent me a personal UPI QR code and asked me to make the payment once I received the order.
Meanwhile, I contacted Zomato because the delivery agent wasn’t moving and Zomato couldn’t reach him. Zomato eventually cancelled the order, and thankfully, I received a full refund.
I then questioned the caller about why he had sent me a personal UPI ID and asked him to share a company/KFC payment option instead. He said, “We only give our personal details.” There was also traffic noise in the background during the call.
I asked him to cancel the order, he said okay, and disconnected.
Now I’m left wondering — what exactly was going on here?
Was this some kind of scam, or could there have been a genuine issue with the order?
Sharing this because if you receive a similar call after placing an order on Zomato, please be extremely cautious about sharing your personal details or making payments to a personal UPI ID.
I recently watched a youtuber's investigation into Asoftech Solutions and was shocked to find that Akshay Tiwari, associated with the operation, is now presenting himself as an Advisor at BRICS CCI.
Investigation: https://youtu.be/RpbgLNS79l8?si=mgFd\_fQOYxsSY62s
If this is the same person, how did someone associated with an alleged call-center scam end up in an advisory role at BRICS CCI?
⚠️ Heads-up about this profile
If you come across this girl, remember the face and save yourself the time don’t hit the Like button.
She appears to be using different apps under different names. Her location often shows as being 1–3 km away from me in Yelahanka, but when asked about her location, she says places like Shanti Nagar.
From what she says, she works at a beauty parlour.
She asks to meet on the day of the match. If you agree, she chooses the time and venue herself. But if you say no or suggest another day, she apparently unmatches immediately.
Just sharing this as a heads-up so people can be cautious and avoid wasting their time.
About a week ago, I ordered a parcel through Instagram. Today, I received a call from someone claiming to be from the logistics/courier service handling my parcel. They told me that my parcel was stuck with their logistics department.
They said that to reorder the parcel, I first had to pay ₹349.05, and that the amount would be refunded.
I accidentally transferred ₹349.50 instead of ₹349.05. They then told me that because I had entered the wrong amount, I needed to make another payment of ₹349.50 with the correct amount being ₹349.05.
After that, they told me that because the total amount had now crossed ₹500, my refund would have to be processed through a ₹4,000 refund slot. They convinced me to make another payment of ₹3,301.50.
After I paid this, they told me that in order to receive the ₹4,000 refund, my bank account needed to have a minimum balance of ₹15,000–₹20,000.
They still haven't refunded any of my money. Instead, they are now claiming that the payment was made to a merchant account and that some kind of refund process needs to be generated before they can return the money.
What should I do now??
This is Ravi Lal, He is the CEO of a company named Rebco India (Pune) which allegedly works on investment projects and real estate. The company has no lending license. He hasn’t paid salaries since last 3 months or so, and is asking employees to resign just to get rid of them. I am posting this on behalf of everyone who worked there so that other youngsters don’t get their lives ruined there. And this is the image of the CEO. This guy had done 3-4 scam earlier, he even bought bouncers today for protection. Even today he asked us to resign and not take legal action. We will file a legal complaint soon but I personally don’t want individuals to ruin there lives here if it ever comes to that. If anyone has connections who can help, media or politically, please let us know🤍
₹2,695. Paid July 16th. Still no shirt, still no refund, over a month later.
I called the owner directly — his number’s listed on their own site. Got blamed on rain, told to WhatsApp for an “escalation.” Ghosted for days. Customer care gave me a different excuse. Then an email landed — accidentally cc’d to 3-4 other customers, all going through the exact same thing.
I’m not the only one. And I have the receipts to prove every part of this timeline.
Read the full story in this video. Make your own call — but I know how I feel about it.
If you’ve ordered from @eggwhites.in on instagram and had a similar experience, drop it in the comments. The more of us compare notes, the clearer the pattern gets.
Hi basically this happened today only. I saw an ad on Snapchat that there was a sale going on for the Lacoste brand. I clicked the website, selected a few products, and made the payment. Later, when I didn't get any confirmation on mail, I rechecked everything and realized there was a spelling mistake in the website link.
I checked it with ChatGPT and got to know it's most probably a scam. I raised a complaint on the Cyber Crime portal and also tried to freeze the payment through net banking. I know I'll most probably not get the money back because 5–6 hours had already passed after the payment.
I'm just depressed at this point. Badi mushkil se paise save kiye the, aur ab gift dene ke chakkar mein bande ko ₹7,000 ka thapka lag gaya.
Bhai log please beizzati mat Krna main kabhi bhi ye sab nhi krti hu hmesha double check krti hu sale ke chakkar mein waat lg gyi feeling really sad uper se ye bhi soch rhi ab kya dungi fiance ko
Every NEET results season, someone posts "another year, another leak," and honestly the claim has gotten so repetitive that it's stopped meaning anything. So I went through the actual record year by year — court findings, CBI chargesheets, NTA statements — and the real picture is messier and more interesting than "leaked every year." Two years stand out as genuinely serious (2024 and, far more so, 2026), and 2026 just did something no year before it has: it got a sitting Union Cabinet minister to resign.
Why "leak" and "malpractice" keep getting confused
A huge chunk of NEET's bad reputation comes from conflating five very different things: a confirmed leak (paper reached people before the exam), a localized leak (real, but geographically contained), examination malpractice (impersonation, solver gangs, cheating — without the paper itself being stolen), a fake leak scam (Telegram sellers with nothing real to sell), and ordinary administrative disputes (eligibility, language, quotas) that get retroactively rebranded as "leaks" once controversy hits. Sort years into these buckets instead of one big "scandal" bucket, and most years don't actually qualify as leaks at all.
2016–2020: mostly noise, not leaks
NEET's first national rollout in 2016 and the years through 2020 were dominated by eligibility disputes, language/quota fights, and — in 2020 — COVID logistics chaos. None of this amounts to a confirmed nationwide paper leak. 2018 did have a genuine problem, just a different one: organized solver-gang and impersonation operations, where paid stand-ins physically wrote the exam for someone else using manipulated identity documents and proxy substitution. Serious fraud, but the paper itself was never stolen — an important distinction that gets flattened constantly.
2021–2023: real problems, but not confirmed nationwide leaks
2021 had a Rajasthan (Jaipur) centre-level controversy — allegations of unauthorized access to exam material and its circulation, with investigation and arrests — serious enough that NTA felt the need to publicly dispute calling it a conventional leak, describing it instead as a localized conspiracy rather than a national breach.
2022 produced a genuinely serious CBI-investigated racket. The exam was held July 17, 2022, and the CBI's case described an operation that collected candidates' login credentials, altered photographs on identity documents, and recruited medical students and other capable people as "solvers" who were then sent into exam centres to impersonate real candidates — reportedly for fees running as high as ₹20 lakh per candidate, with a share going to the impersonators themselves. CBI registered an FIR against 11 people and others unknown, arresting 8 in the initial sweep. Again — this is malpractice, not a stolen question paper.
2023 was mostly Telegram noise and individual-centre complaints with nothing that held up as a confirmed leak.
2024: the first confirmed leak, but a contained one
This is where things get real. The exam was held May 5, 2024, for over 24 lakh registered candidates. NTA's first public position was actually denial — it initially rejected social-media claims of a leak and said all papers were accounted for. That denial didn't hold up.
CBI's investigation traced a real breach to Patna and to the Oasis School examination centre in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand — the Supreme Court itself later said this "was not in dispute." The alleged mechanics: someone gained unauthorized access to a room where a sealed question-paper trunk was stored, the trunk was tampered with, a paper was removed, photographed, and the images transmitted out to a Patna network via mobile devices — reportedly with Biology material sent at roughly 10:50 a.m., followed later by Chemistry and Physics. Around 30–32 students were allegedly gathered at a location to study the leaked material before sitting the exam. People named in connection with the Hazaribagh end of the investigation included Pankaj Kumar, Ehsanul Haque, and Imtiyaz Alam, along with other intermediaries.
A partially burnt question-paper fragment recovered during the investigation, carrying a traceable identification number linking it back to the Hazaribagh centre and paper series, became one of the strongest physical evidence links in the whole case — much stronger than an anonymous photo circulating online.
CBI's first chargesheet in this case, filed August 1, 2024, named 13 accused, including alleged mastermind Manish Prakash and Sikander Yadvendu among others — that case had originally been registered by Bihar Police before being handed to CBI.
But — and this is the part that gets left out constantly — the Supreme Court, in July 2024 proceedings, also explicitly found the evidence did not establish a systemic nationwide breach, and refused to cancel the exam nationally. CBI's assessment at that stage pointed to roughly 155 identified beneficiaries across the Hazaribagh/Patna network, not millions.
Separately, and this often gets tangled into the leak story even though it's a completely different issue: 1,563 candidates received compensatory/grace marks for reported loss of exam time at certain centres. The Supreme Court ordered those grace marks withdrawn, gave affected candidates the option of a re-test (held June 23, 2024), and let those who skipped the re-test keep their original raw marks. This is also why the initial "67 candidates scored a perfect 720/720" figure, which fueled a lot of the leak panic, dropped sharply after revision — score inflation from the grace-marks issue, not proof of mass leak.
2025: no confirmed leak, but a genuinely massive fraud problem
After 2024, trust was already shattered, so Telegram and Instagram groups went into overdrive selling fake "100% genuine," "guaranteed 720" papers. NTA says it received over 1,500 suspicious submissions by early May 2025 and flagged 122 fraudulent accounts — 106 Telegram channels and 16 Instagram accounts. None of this establishes the real paper leaked; it establishes a huge market of people willing to pay for something that almost certainly didn't exist.
2026: the real thing, and it took down a Cabinet minister
This is the case that actually changes the "leaked every year" conversation, because 2026 is categorically different from 2024. The exam was held May 3, 2026, for more than 22.7 lakh candidates in pen-and-paper format. NTA didn't just find a localized leak after the fact — it cancelled the entire national exam on May 12, and a full nationwide re-exam had to be held on June 21 for all candidates, with no fresh exam fee charged.
The CBI's theory here is structurally different from 2024. In 2024, the breach was unauthorized access to a printed paper after it reached a centre. In 2026, the allegation is that the compromise happened further upstream, inside the question-preparation process itself — allegedly involving NTA's own appointed subject experts, not just outside intermediaries.
Specific evidence CBI has cited: investigators recovered 132 handwritten Chemistry questions (with 5 duplicate images) from a Latur, Maharashtra coaching operator's phone, alleging roughly 111 of them matched NTA's master question sets, with the images reportedly captured on April 23, 2026 — nearly two weeks before the exam. Separately, a so-called "guess paper" — roughly 150 pages, about 410 questions — was allegedly circulated to some aspirants beforehand, and CBI alleges around 120 of those questions turned up in the actual Chemistry section on exam day. Investigators also allege leaked material was sold through Telegram for around ₹10 lakh in at least one part of the network.
People named in the Latur end of the investigation include coaching-linked individual Shivraj Raghunath Motegaonkar and Dr Manoj Bhagwanrao Shirure, along with other intermediaries.
On July 28, 2026, CBI filed its chargesheet before Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court against all 13 accused, all of whom were in judicial custody at the time: Yash Yadav, Mangilal Biwal, Dinesh Biwal, Vikas Biwal, Shubham Khairnar, Dhananjay Lokhande, Tejas Harshadkumar Shah, Dr Manoj Bhagwanrao Shirure, Shivraj Raghunath Motegaonkar, and three NTA-appointed subject experts specifically — Manisha Mandhare (Biology), Pralhad/Prahlad Vithalrao Kulkarni (Chemistry), and Manisha Sanjay Havaldar (Physics). Charges span the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust, destruction of evidence, among others), the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the newer Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. The investigation behind it involved 72 officers, 8 cyber-forensic experts, and 92 raids/searches across states including Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi — producing a chargesheet citing 360 witnesses, 422 documents, and 43 material exhibits, reportedly running to roughly 20,000 pages with annexures. CBI itself stated it found no evidence of institutional corruption inside NTA, but explicitly called the agency's own procedural negligence "unacceptable," and is expected to recommend departmental action against responsible officials separately from the criminal case.
Here's the part that made 2026 the most consequential NEET year on record: the fallout went beyond the legal system into actual politics. Sustained protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, organized by a youth group calling itself the Cockroach Janta Party under 30-year-old Boston University graduate Abhijeet Dipke, kept building through July, explicitly demanding accountability over the leak and NTA's handling of it. On July 25, 2026, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan actually resigned — a genuinely rare outcome, a sitting Cabinet minister stepping down over an examination scandal. His resignation note said the decision wasn't about "personal prestige" but about not letting the issue get tangled in "legal complexities" or exploited politically; he later said in early August that he felt Gen Z had been "misled" during the protests, while maintaining the government had acted properly by handing the case to CBI, cancelling the exam, and holding the re-test.
What's proven vs what's alleged, specifically for 2026
Established / confirmed:
Alleged / not yet judicially proven:
The actual bottom line
"NEET paper leaked every year" doesn't survive a year-by-year look at the record — most years are administrative disputes, malpractice, or outright scams, not proven leaks. But dismissing NEET's security problems entirely would be just as wrong. There are two real, confirmed leaks in this decade of record, and the second one was serious enough to cancel a national exam for 22+ lakh candidates, produce a 13-person chargesheet naming the exam body's own subject experts, and end a Cabinet minister's career. The honest version isn't "always" or "never" — examination security has a real, repeatedly exploited weak point somewhere between question creation and printing, and 2026 is the year that became impossible to wave away as isolated malpractice.
Curious what this sub thinks: does naming NTA's own subject experts as accused change how much trust the agency itself deserves going forward, or is this still "a few bad actors" the same way earlier years were?

Hinge Match → Kolkata DLC: A ₹12.8K Horror Story
Posting this again because apparently this scam deserves its own public service announcement. 😂
Recently got a match on Hinge. She messaged first, seemed nice, and asked if we could meet. We met around Lake Mall Road.
First red flag: she looked nothing like her profile.
But hey… plot twist: she was still damn hot, so my brain apparently decided to ignore the terms and conditions. 🤦♂️
She said she knew a newly opened place nearby and took me to a shady hookah bar.
The moment I walked in, something felt OFF.
She started ordering food like she had a corporate expense account. I asked for a cigarette, and some random guy handed me a “Gold” cigarette.
After a few minutes, I started feeling weird—almost intoxicated. I hadn’t had anything to drink, and I barely ate. At that point I was thinking:
“Congratulations, bro. You have successfully unlocked the Dating App Scam DLC.”
The bill was already around ₹5–6K.
Then they said the kitchen was closing and she wanted to place another order.
I was like: “Can we maybe eat the food that is ALREADY sitting on the table before ordering another restaurant?”
Suddenly, apparently, one of their staff had an accident. 🚨
We had to leave.
And then came the final boss:
₹12,800 bill.
I don't even remember the exact amount anymore because by then my brain was running on Windows 98.
I checked the bill and found “Maharaja Base ×2” — basically two hookahs sitting beside the table.
We never ordered them.
We never used them.
We barely even touched the table.
But apparently they had already been added to our spiritual journey. 😂
I argued that I would only pay for the food we actually ordered and consumed. She conveniently disappeared during all this — literally vanished like a magician after the bill arrived.
When I went downstairs, a few of the guys followed me asking if I had a problem.
At that point I decided I had already paid enough for the experience and didn't want the “Free Street Fight With Your ₹12K Dinner” package.
So I walked away.
PSA 🚨
If someone you just matched with starts pushing for a meeting on the first or second day, immediately suggests “I know this amazing new place”, and takes you somewhere you've never heard of…
Maybe don't let your hormones conduct the investigation. 😂
And if the place starts adding random hookahs, mystery cigarettes and ₹12K bills to your date…
Congratulations. You are no longer on a date. You are the customer.
Stay safe, fellow swipers.
Swipe right, but maybe investigate the restaurant first. 😂
If anyone else has experienced something similar around Kolkata, please share it. The more people know about these scams, the harder it becomes for them to keep doing this.
Bhai log thoda dhyan rakhna, aaj mere sath ek scam hote hote bacha.
Mujhe WhatsApp par ek message aaya JVVNL ke naam se ki mera pichle mahine ka meter reading update nahi hua hai aur aaj raat 10:00 PM light kaat denge. Usme likha tha ki unke kisi 'bill update officer Mr Sanjay Sharma' ko call karu.
Jab us scammer se baat hui toh usne mujhe WhatsApp pe ek "Electricity Bill update.apk" naam ki file bhej di. Main turant samajh gaya ki ye fraud hai aur phone hack karne ka tarika hai. Maine usi waqt usko aur uske dono numbers ko block kar diya.
Pls sab log dhyan rakhe. Bijli vibhag kabhi aise WhatsApp par message karke light nahi kaatta, aur na hi koi third-party app (.apk) download karne ko bolta hai. Ye file install karte hi aapke phone ka access aur bank OTPs sidha unke paas chale jayenge.
Apne family groups me aur specially parents/elders ko iske baare me jarur batana, wo log aisi light katne ki dhamki se jaldi panic ho jate hain aur inke jaal me fass jate hain. Be safe!
Well I was careless enough to not check the cart prices but my mom saw it at the last moment.
Man , this person is a huge scammer. First his Father's Kundali got leaked , now his entire degree is in question. Bro is just like his Master - AAPda head
Hello Everyone,
First of all don't ever go to Pepperfry and don't buy anything from them, they are nothing but a mere scam.
So Recently I bought a table from Pepperfry Store in Pune. I paid all the amount for that on the day of buying only which was 10 days ago and yesterday it was the delivery date for the same, but guess what the delivery didn't happen.
And I bought from Pepperfry cause I needed that on urgemt basis as well as I needed the Tax Invoice for the table so as the employee at store said that I'll be getting a invoice in 2 days, which is yet to received by me cause the item is still not shipped.
So I contacted the same employee and he says nothing but that he is trying and all, and I think that he is trying nothing but just wasting my time, and literally scammed me.
So anybody has any idea, that how can ai return this item and get my full money refunded in my original payment method or cash or whatever which is real money and not their shitty arse credits in my profile on their website.
If anybody knows this please help me out.
And please I'm saying again don't ever buy from Pepperfry, they are running a scam, go for any other local furniture shop or if you have more money then IKEA, Wakefit and all, but don't you ever go that shitty store or website.
