I have been scammed only once by a company so far. It was oyo (another gem run by softbank). They sold all my information, made me paid twice and left with such a poor service. Few of their actual employees were the scammers along with the hotel manager (likely) so I wasn't suspicious... because ya know, you are supposed to trust official communication portals.

It opened my eyes to how far scam can go. A billion dollar valuation or millions of likes says nothing.

I filed a complaint but have yet to follow up due to covid. It was a visit due to medical reasons so we didn't focus too much on it.
