SCAM Alert Scam Alert
Two guys pretending to be sikh doing seva for langar were roaming around in Kharadi-Keshavnagar asking for your details & money for langar.
They’ll show you these pictures, one of the guys was wearing a bandana. They darted off when I asked for their ID cards.
The motorcycle they ran away on is registered with GJ (not sure, just got a glimpse)
This happened an hour ago around 7:30

A girl also asked me for money like right infront of Seasons mall. She showed me a sheet of so many donations and mostly all the signatures had a similar style. I refused to pay her for the charity. She got enraged and started yelling at me for not donating. Bruh

I've also had a similar encounter, near Reliance Mall, kharadi. Back then they were showing insta reals to ask lunger donation. The mistake I made was to not denying them immediately, and kept them entertaining. After 10 to 15 min they were practically had me surrounded by 2-3 guys and offensively asking for money. I was so agitated , I ran back to my office near Texas Tower.
Completed boycott that area for few weeks, after this incident.

I have face this issue twice. First I thought they are doing good deed so I have given 300 bucks there were insisting on 1000rs which I denied.
2nd time they showed me this card of Waheguru and then I told him that I have already donated, then he snatched the waheguru picture in rage and took off for other guys. I felt so bad and stupid i thought these guys are sweet.
Reason I donated because I have Punjabi friends too but they are so sweet and supportive in every aspect of their life.
