Russia is currently a hub for tourists. With the 2018 FIFA World Cup beginning, a lot of football fanatics are travelling around the globe to Russia to attend the games. With games tags along some drinks and fun and maybe many dates! But one man fell prey to 'scam babes' as he calls them. A guy posted a review warning others of the girls on Tinder who are actually spiking drinks to get money out from guys.
A guy name not revealed, wrote a warning on TripAdvisor ahead of the World Cup matches, about how he got fooled by his match on Tinder, the popular dating application. Tinder lets a user finding potential partners in the vicinity and this guy too wanted to make the most of it. According to his review, he was lured by his Tinder match to a 'suspicious' bar which anyway cost him more for a simple beer, cocktail and one dish. He has this experience not once but twice.
Later the man went on to find another match in the vicinity. He agreed to meet her and her friend in some bar. He was apparently drugged there by the women by spiking his drink and when he woke, he had to pay £1,120 as the bill. He took to the reviewing site to make sure others do not fall in the same trap. He wrote, "I am just emailing you to let you know about Tinder scams in St Petersburg, Russia, so that you can inform your readers so they don't suffer the same financial expenditure I did." He then went on to narrate the whole incident as it happened and how he had a hole in his pocket paying for the bills. The guy describes how the girls were reluctant to go a bar which he preferred but he ensured they would go to someplace safe and crowded. He was, however, spiked and had to pay an excessive amount. So this should be a clear warning to all those ardent fans who might want to indulge in some dating fun other than the games. Stay clear of the 'scam babes' guys.
