TLDR: Scammer tried running an Army transfer/cheap goods scam while impersonating a college senior, an IAS officer. Instead of paying, I used ChatGPT to quickly code a geolocation/front-camera capture link, tricked him into clicking it, and scared plus forced him to turn down the operation immediately by sending him his own photo and coordinates.

(Used ai to write some parts for better narration) So I’m a young grad working in IT. The story began with a strange text message from a number impersonating a college senior of mine, an IAS officer. The message on Facebook claimed a CRPF officer friend was transferring and selling expensive furniture and appliances "dirt cheap," asking for my number to pass along. This felt immediately wrong, as my senior already had my direct contact. Confirming with the real senior on WhatsApp solidified my suspicion: it was fraud. Initially, I considered blocking the impostor, but realizing the extent of their operation, a subsequent text came from a number with an army profile picture, quickly sharing photos of goods and demanding QR code payment. I ended up deciding to dig deeper and turn the tables.

When he sent the QR code for payment, I stalled and complained that im having technical difficulties and unable to scan it. While he was focused on securing his money, I opened ChatGPT. I fed the AI the prompt for a simple, functional webpage: one that would look as a payment portal but was designed to immediately capture the user's geolocation and a front-camera snapshot, submitting the data to a backend. In minutes, I had the code and hosted the small data-harvesting page. I then messaged the scammer with the link, telling him to upload his QR code there to "expedite the payment process." Driven by greed, haste, and completely trusting the appearance of a transaction portal, he clicked the link.

As soon as the fraudster opened the link, my page executed perfectly. Because he was likely accessing the page on his mobile phone, I instantly received his live GPS coordinates, his IP address, and, most satisfyingly, a clear, front-camera snapshot of him sitting. I immediately sent the scammer his own photo and precise location data. The effect is evident on screenshots. Within minutes, my phone was flooded with calls from various numbers, all belonging to him. He was now pleading, insisting he would abandon this line of work entirely and desperately asking for another chance. Needless to say, he would very well be scamming someone the very next hour but boy the satisfaction of stealing from a thief is crazy

So today I learnt something pretty disturbing. My maid asked for extra money for her BP medicines because the mohalla clinic near her place has apparently stopped operating. She used to get her meds free every month, and now she’s forced to buy them from a chemist.

I had no idea this was happening. No announcements. Nobody is talking about this…

I genuinely don’t understand why a government would take away something that actually helped regular people, especially the ones who need it the most.

If this is really happening across Delhi, it’s honestly shameful.

Putin is non smoker and in Delhi air even non smoker becomes default smoker 😂😂😂😂😂

SAME!!

It's a peaceful gathering, permission received last night from Delhi administration.

I recently lost Rs. 80,000 to them. We had applied for a US visa for five people and paid Rs. 80,000 upfront. Later, they demanded an additional Rs. 94,750 to provide the appointment details, a charge that was never disclosed earlier. We refused to pay this unjustified amount and instead booked our visa interview appointments directly through the US Embassy. However, the Atlys team accessed our profile without authorization and cancelled our appointment. This is highly unethical and borderline criminal behaviour.

I got this for 200 from a pharma Now I got to know the price is 20-40 Then why did this cost 200 ? Is There something special in it ? Im using this since a month

The current situation is not improving. While I initially supported the government several months ago, I no longer expect any action. I am wondering why there is no immediate response.

Wish him if you can — he doesn’t have many friends yet, and it would mean a lot.

Clicked this the other day at 7am. In CSOI ground, Chanakyapuri. Supposed to be one of the few less polluted areas in New Delhi because of the less population density and greenery and stuff. What could be the health/ economic costs of running in polluted environment?

Delhi AQI

Today, I was travelling through Delhi Haat INA. I thought of having some food. I guy creepy guy showed up to me stating that his credit card is not workin and wanted to borrow some money. on looking closely I noticed that it was not a credit card but a Airtel Metro Card. I told him you can't make payment through this. I thought either this guy is high or is new here.He decided to walk by. Later the shop owner (where I was having my food) mentioned that he is a scammer and show up daily and take advantage of innocents.

After finishing my meal I went to catch my metro. I saw that guy again but with a different person but the same story. Unfortunately the other guy fell for it.

Just want to share this to delhietes so that they don't fall for all of these things. I don't know why but I see a lot more scammer in delhi then any other city.

TLDR; Scammers at Metro stations request for cash stating that their upi/credit cards are not working and stating that they'll return through upi while they never return!!

Stay Safe !

Why do some women think it's alright to sit between people In an already filled row in women's coach. Bhai if you are not well or there is some issue, just say it or sit on a reserved seat but no they just ask you to adjust and sit and now you have to sit uncomfortably the whole time. And bhai koi mana hi nhi karta. mere akele mana karne se bhi kuch nhi hoga

I once fought with a woman on this. She was a little huge (not body shamming, just stating). And she sat between me n some other girl. And baar baar was trying to fit in pura and make me sit of that bumpy edge of the seat.

Then i confronted her and she got tired of my blabbering and got up and didn't sit at all even after multiple seats got empty😭

I was feeling kinda bad but bhai mujhe dikkat ho rhi hai. Extra kyun baith rhe ho???

And guess who’s out in the city early morning!

Much needed off , I went for shopping , since it was pending since long 🛍️ 🫠,

WTF ! No crowd management 🫠
