Dating app user asks for money for fake FASTag charges

I met a person on a dating app and chatted casually for two days. On 6 November, he suggested exchanging pictures, shared his WhatsApp number and said he was looking for friendship. He later called me, said he was from Eluru and suggested meeting in the evening. Since I was also looking for friendship, I agreed. At around 1:47 pm, he called, claiming he needed 277 rupees via PhonePe to pay his car FASTag charges. Although hesitant, I transferred the money after he repeatedly insisted and promised to repay me. At 2:02 pm, he called again, asking for more money under another pretext. He then claimed he had started towards the meeting place but was stopped by RTA officials over pending traffic fines. I repeatedly tried calling him, but he avoided my calls and eventually deleted my contact. When I confronted him that night and demanded my money back, he abused my family and threatened me. He arrogantly said, Do whatever you want. I am not giving you a single penny. I am not afraid of anyone. Grindr users be careful: His Name: Prem Kumar Contact number: [PHONE]
