Warning: Rapido Scam Alert - Fake Hospital Bill Trick!

Hey everyone,

Last saturday i was doing my rapido ….. got one order, pickup was at hospital main gate. I reached there, called the customer. He said  "bro i booked this for my aunty only, she is coming wait little bit."

Then suddenly he said aunty got some problem with hospital bill. He told me he already sent ₹200 in googlepay (ride fare) but i have to pay ₹5000 extra for the bill.. total ₹5200. He send one split request with QR code and keep saying "scan now scan now, fast fast."

Something felt wrong only. I told him straight  "bro let aunty come first then we will see." He cancelled the order immediately itself.

Next day sunday morning,  same number called again. "bro i sent ₹5000, you keep ₹500 and send back ₹4500." I caught him only  yesterday it was ₹5200, today how it became ₹5000?? He started blabbering "yesterday it was not completed, today it is." Total nonsense da.

I complained to police (100) and cyber cell also (1930). They said yes this is classic scam only.

He called one more time. I told him  "fine if money came to my account, come meet me at police station, i will return infront of them." After that no calls. Monday now, full silence.

Riders please be careful! These people use emotional stories  hospital, family emergency and fake GPay split to make you pay first. Dont scan any QR. Verify everything first.
