What is the "Bar and Dating Invitation Scam" scam in Lahore?

Question

Accepted Answer

Friendly locals approach solo tourists and gradually build rapport before suggesting a drink at a nearby bar they are partnered with. The bill arrives at 5–10 times the expected rate. If payment is refused, security escorts the tourist to an ATM to withdraw enough to cover the inflated total. Be cautious of overly friendly strangers who persistently steer you toward specific venues. Always ask for a visible price menu before ordering. Go out with trusted company and tell someone your plans when exploring Lahore's nightlife areas.
