Locanto — Dating site (got cheated and lost Rs 17000 for fake advertisement for male escort)

Address:

West Bengal

Hi,

I am Amit Raj, 26 years old guy staying in Pune. I got cheated at the locanto site and lost Rs 17000.

I have visited the locanto personal section, in that "Women seeking male". There was a lot of advertisement for "Need male" and so on. I just contacted 4 numbers late at night but I did not get any response. The next day I got a call from 3 numbers, all were kind of escort service located in West Bengal. They told me that they are mediators and provide male escort service with good women and they described a lot like a man can get two types of service, one can be for only pleasure and another one will be paid for service up to 30 to 40k per service. They asked me to register first with the amount of Rs 1090 and sent their bank account details. As I got attracted and got fooled by them and paid the registration membership fee through G pay and sent the payment screenshot. After that, they asked me to share my good pics and I sent her. Later they shared with me 3 good looking girls and asked me to choose one of them. I chose one girl and they replied that girl has liked my pic and ready to get service. Before one more trick she played, she asked me to pay another amount of Rs 15900 for making my license as per her this is essential for going into service and she told me this is refundable amount. She told without this license card, no girl will be ready to get service. But I got doubt and asked her to share the contact details of the client. But she was not ready to share before sending this amount. But she connected with the client girl via conference call and I finally talked with the client to whom I was supposed to give service. I just talked with the client about her name and few details but she (Client) refused to tell me to address details saying that she will tell me all details after getting confirmation from the mediator. Again mediator made me convinced and paid the Rs 15900 through g pay and sent the screenshot. After tha)t, she asked my blood group and father's name for making a license. After 10 min, she sent me a soft copy of the membership card where my photo and membership ID was mentioned. I asked her to share the client's phone number and I received one number (Neha Sharma- +91 [protected]). She told me to call the client and asked for the details. I called this number, she picked and she told she is ready to come to my place for service, I agreed and asked her to share her WhatsApp number so that I can share my location. But against one more trick, that mediator girl called me and took both o[censored]s (Client and me) to the conference and asked both o[censored]s to pay a matching profile fee of the amount Rs 24900. I got shocked and shouted at her. But the client was ready to pay that amount. But I refused and understood their tricks. I just verified the client's contact number location, I got shocked to know, I was "West Bengal." But the mediator told me that client stays near my location in Pune. I understood their tricks and called all numbers and started shouting and asking to refund my amount. But she refused and asked to pay the first matching profile fee which she told is refundable after service and repeating the same and finally, I got angry and abused her and she cut my call. Again I called the client number (which initially she shared me) but she told I have paid the matching profile fee and asked me to do the same, she also told that previously she had got one service and paid the matching profile fee and got refunded in few days. And I asked the client why her mobile number location is West Bengal, she told me she has got this sim card from this dating company itself to maintain her privacy. At last, they are not ready to accept and they kept on telling that they are genuine and escort service providers all around India. But I did not believe and asked to refund my 17k but she refused and cut the call.

Finally, I understood that I got trapped and fooled by them. They are all together cheated me and I lost Rs 17000.
