Bhargavii Mani, a social media-famous Kolam artist from Chennai, fell victim to a credit card scam at Bengaluru's airport, losing over Rs 87,000.

Despite not using the lounge services, her credit card was exploited for unauthorized transactions. After promptly reporting the scam, Bhargavii urged others to verify app authenticity before downloading. Her experience has sparked online debates about digital safety and the need for caution with app permissions.
