A techie in Bengaluru has exposed a new scam targeting airport travelers, particularly women, where cab drivers feign fuel shortage and demand cash payments to avoid tolls, potentially putting passengers at risk. The scam highlights the importance of being vigilant while choosing transportation to the airport.
A fake ‘Lounge Pass’ app has scammed over 450 travelers out of ₹9 lakh (around $11,000) by stealing OTPs and accessing sensitive information. The app, circulated via WhatsApp, poses as a legitimate service for airport lounge access but is a dangerous new threat in the aviation sector.
