A video short recently circulated online claiming that some Indian female students in U.S. states such as Ohio, Dallas in Texas, and a few others were “honey trapping” wealthy NRIs.
According to the video, these students enter homes as helpers, steal money and jewellery, collect personal information, blackmail men, and even buy houses with the money.
The creator of the video said she was issuing an alert to NRIs. However, there is no evidence or police documentation supporting these allegations.
Several NRIs have dismissed the claims. One NRI said, “The video maker wants views and created sensational content. The tone and the narrative itself make it look fake. She randomly mentioned city names and offered no proof. Claims about buying houses with such money are exaggerated and clearly false.”
Another NRI said, “So far, no cases have been filed regarding honey traps or theft by such students. The USA is not a place where such incidents go unreported. NRIs understand the law of the land and they know how to file a police complaint against any woman involved in such activities, if at all such a case exists.”
Another NRI said, “I know a few NRIs here who had student helpers at their homes before immigration rules changed during the Trump era. Every girl was decent, educated and respectful. This creator seems frustrated with hardworking students and made the video to stop support for female students.”
An NRI woman added, “If a honey trap happens, the man is responsible for not falling for it. People should know their limits. Blaming women without evidence is wrong.”
One NRI offered a balanced view. “There may be one case in a hundred anywhere. She generalised and sensationalised, which raises doubts. Still, her message to stay cautious can be taken positively, although such incidents are rare.”
The overall consensus is clear. No verified reports or registered cases support the viral video, and the claims appear unsubstantiated and exaggerated.
