'Inventive New Scam... Exact Replica Of Uber App...: Bengaluru Man Shares New Airport-Taxi Scam

An X user from Bengaluru has posted about a new scam in the city. As part of this scam a replica of the Uber app is being used to operate rides without giving a bill.

The user took to X to write, "What an inventive new scam by Bengaluru airport taxi today. This dude showed me an exact replica of @Uber app when he started an ended the trip with 100 bucks extra baked in. Said the extra is because of GST and when I asked for the bill he said I'll get it next month. So cute."

The user in the thread continued to provide information and called it "impressive" while informing that the scammers "use an Android app called Blumeter which looks like Uber. They'll show & trip start button" to build credibility and later "they'll end the trip on the same app which shows a much higher amount," he added.

The user also added that if you ask for a proper bill they will say that the billing system is broken currently and you will get the bill on email next month.

"Funnily, Mr. Rajagopal YN didn't even take my email or phone number. Busted haha!," he added.
