hey
Big country,big city, competitive life style, survival of the fittest and those who are not fit or are lazy try to earn living through this method. My trip to India was marred by several such incidences. But overall it was an amazing trip. Just be more careful before finalizing service charges and inquire in detail about the facilities. Rest you should be fine. have a nice trip. looking forward to hearing more from you guys take care
