Reports about Rental contact for 1BHK, Indiranagar (Example Entity)

Different property, same pattern: the 'owner' contact for a 2BHK near HSR Layout claimed to be posted overseas for work, communicated only via a messaging app, and requested a ₹15,000 deposit via UPI before agreeing to a video-call viewing. After the deposit was sent, the promised video call was rescheduled three times and then the contact stopped responding entirely; no lease documents were ever provided despite repeated requests over two weeks.

Inquired about a 1BHK listed for rent in Indiranagar via a phone number shared in a local rental WhatsApp group. The 'landlord' said they were relocating abroad and could not show the flat in person, but asked for one month's rent (₹22,000) plus a token deposit (₹10,000) via bank transfer to 'block' the unit before another tenant took it. After transferring ₹32,000 total, the contact went silent, and the building's actual caretaker confirmed no such unit was vacant or listed for rent.
