He informed him that he has won a Smart phone Xiaomi Mi Note 3 and asked him to deposit the amount of Rs. 3499 against service tax in the name of Shop it India Pvt.Ltd
My friend deposited the amount in the given account. Neither he received any order confirmation nor the product and once the amount was received by that guy, he stopped receiving his calls.
So, before you purchase anything online; keep in mind these things:
- Online shopping sites never ask for any bank deposit.
- Once you place any order; you receive a confirmation message along with order id and postage tracking number.
- With that tracking number, you can track your order shipment and know where it is and when it will be available to you.
- Always keep in mind that people who call you saying that you have won any XYZ precious thing or an email stating that you have won certain amount then such cases are a mere fraud. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM.
Important note: Beware shopping from shopittoday.in. The website has good ratings however their customer care number is either switched off or unreachable.
Stay away from such fraud websites. Hope this blog post will help you to do safe online shopping. Let me know how this post has helped you out.
Your suggestions, comments as to how my friend can overcome this situation and help to find out that guy will be much appreciable.
