Bengaluru cab driver used fake screenshot to scam airport passengers, Charged five times the fare

In Bengaluru, a scam involving a cab driver at Kempegowda International Airport has been targeting passengers by presenting a counterfeit fare screenshot, resulting in charges up to five times the actual fare. The scam specifically targets passengers using Ola/Uber services at the airport. The lack of assigned drivers through the app at the airport allows fraudulent activities to go unnoticed. Despite the scam affecting many individuals, formal police complaints have been rare. One victim's social media outcry led to the driver's brief detention, but complaints about the driver's aggressive behavior and the passengers' helplessness in the situation have surfaced.
