A woman from Mumbai recently took to LinkedIn to reveal an unsettling encounter she had online, where an unidentified man allegedly offered her ₹5,000 just to see her waist. The post, which has since gone viral, includes screenshots of the inappropriate message she received.

In her post, she expressed shock and frustration over the audacity of the message, which read: "Hi, can I see your waist for 5,000?" She added that although she usually ignores such messages, she decided to speak up this time to highlight the kind of harassment women continue to face—even on professional platforms.

The woman stressed that platforms like LinkedIn, which are intended for career networking, should not be misused for such behavior. Her post sparked a wave of support, with many users condemning the incident and praising her for calling it out publicly.

The issue has reignited conversations about online safety, particularly for women, and the urgent need to create respectful and secure digital spaces.
