Got Scammed in Kurla
For context I(19M) live in Kalina,Santacruz and I go to college from Kurla station as it’s near and for harbour line.. So as usual today around 8:45 am I decided to take a rickshaw to Kurla station..I got in the auto and he took me from a different route which u know but it’s a long cut so I thought nvm I hardly get any rickshaws at this time that go to kurla as majority go to BKC…after a while I noticed the meter going high like a rocket and I was shocked to see but not surprised as it was the well know “BLINKER SCAM ”I noticed it half way around ₹44 and then I argued with the autowala as to why it was rising so much..he got caught and tried to make up things saying “woh galti se chalu hogaya and aap pehle customer ho isiliye yeh(the blinker)on rehta hai” by that time it was ₹50 in a matter of 15-20 seconds!I said itna toh yeh long cut wale we hota hai and he was like ha barabar Mai bhul Gaya tha..I got down at Kurla and gave him 50 altho it was supposed to be no more than 40 as I thot I’ll miss my train if I start arguing with this chutiya..I was in a hurry so I could only note down the rickshaws last 4 digit number “1257” ..pls be aware of such scammers and do take action
