  1. SCAM WARNING ⚠️⛔️‼️ : SCAM DATE RESTAURANT – STAY AWAY!

    I had the same experience as many others here. I matched with a girl online, and she insisted we go to this specific restaurant. I found it a bit strange, but I agreed. As soon as we arrived, she started ordering the most expensive items on the menu – including ridiculously overpriced drinks.

    The worst part? A waiter came over and brought shisha without anyone ordering it. Then the girl simply said, “Yes, I want it.” How did the waiter even know to bring it without asking? That’s when I realized the whole thing was staged. I confronted the girl, and she had no explanation.

    This is clearly a setup. The girl is working with the restaurant to scam people on dates. The final bill was shocking.

    Stay away from this place – it’s a trap!

    To the owners: you might make fast money now, but this scam will ruin your reputation.

  2. I was a victim in May also, they are still scamming guys there, I paid 5.8k for empty drinks that the girls ordered!

  3. Shame on this scam

    I will open case and will not let this go to sleep.

    I rather give to charity then to get scam by such
