Surely, Delhi is not for beginners, as you never know when you'll be scammed.

As a man from Delhi has claimed that he was recently scammed by an Uber driver after he hailed a ride from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport.

In a lengthy post on Reddit, the man recounted the distressing experience and narrated what happened when he booked an Uber from the IGI airport to his home in the national capital on March 24. The Reddit user claimed that upon completion of the trip, the Uber driver presented a fake screenshot and charged double the fare.

''So I booked a ride from Delhi's IGI airport to my home on the 24th night around 10:30. The app displayed around. ₹340 for an Uber Go so I booked that. When I reached my destination, the driver asked me ₹648,'' he wrote on Reddit.

Since he was charged almost double, he asked to see the screen displaying the confirmation payment. The driver showed the man a screenshot where the fare was indeed ₹ 648 and attributed the increased amount to extra waiting charges.

Though the customer was suspicious, he decided to avoid arguing late at night and agreed to pay the amount. However, before leaving, he took a photo of the driver's phone screen showing the payment details. The next day, he analysed the picture and found mistakes like wrong spelling names and two Uber app icons. When he visited the app, it showed that the Uber driver only collected ₹127.48 from him for the ride. The man then contacted Uber customer care and received a partial refund, confirming his suspicions of being tricked.
