Hello Friends,

Today another website https://www.freshfo...n/ has emerged doing the same fraud as cromafresh. The fraud mechanism is same.

Unfortunately, my friend's father has been victim of this fraud. He got a mail for grocery shopping. He opened the website, and seeing good discount, went to order some stuff but he has a debit of ₹9099. The transaction amount didn't show up in OTP sms. The transaction was done using SBI debit card.

The merchant name is M/S NANDINEE ARTS. If we get the website through which the transaction is done, we can ask them to cancel this order. Transaction is done through PayU.

If anyone know where this merchant has been listed, please let us know.

Registered a complaint on PayU too, do they help? IMG-20230903-WA0029Screenshot2023-09-03-12-42-33-856com.android.chrome

This time fraudsters are using lesser known merchants (probably fake and created by them only) to collect the payments. Victims will not be able to contact such merchants for cancellation of the fraudulent transactions.

So here's a little update what I got on this scam till now their is not one but possibly multiple websites involved in this scam one is "freshfork.in" other is "cromafresh.in" and there can be more all of these websites do payment to a merchant named M/S Nandinee Arts via Payu(yes I've talked to the Payu team and till now they only shared the email of this merchant I'm expecting to get some more details soon) which is a running this business since 2017(according to the GSTIN registration) they initially started with two businesses named "Naukri Innovation"(which is probably down by now) and other is "Nandinee Arts"(active till date) both the business are registered to a person named Gaurav Aggarwal(linkedin attached) the business is registered to this Address which is probably an unbuilt multistorey complex(I don't know how the guy got field verification for business registration on that building) under the GSTIN I've got the phone number of him but obviously he has blocked me...

Recently another person was scammed a total sum of INR 28050 on 2 September 2023 here's the tweet attached.

I've filed Cyber Complaint yesterday giving all these details (though the portal gave me error so many times..😑) they've told me to contact local Police Station which I'll do today until then...

How does fake websites able to get payment gateways. Why don't payment gateway provider like PayU, RazerPay check legitimacy of business & docs before providing payment gateways.

You can't even dispute the transaction as it done by a debit card so very low chance of getting back th lost money.

I have noticed in Desidime many people here takes his friend name or relative but in reality the actual fraud happened with him.

The whole system is forged/fake. Used fake CC details. They are capturing the card details and doing the transaction in back-end

As it is clear that the payment provider is not payu, but it was a fake page to take your card number the only option you have is to report it to the cyber police. and register an FIR. But they will probably do nothing. 

 I would suggest don't ever use cards online, use UPI or Paypal only. There can be no reason for a genuine company to not accept these payment methods. And always check the URL carefully if even if it's a popular site to make sure it isn't a duplicate one.

Checking the lock icon in URL and https in web address helps , right? That's what I taught my dad as precaution to duplicate site. Does it work or even fraudsters are getting high end disguise?

Payu & Razor pay only verify the PAN Card details and any identity document like Adhaar as part of their KYC for registration of merchant for using their payment gateways. After that scripts can be downloaded by merchant to be posted in merchant's website for collecting payment. No website verification is required. GST Number is also optional.

However this information is adequate to identify & nab the culprit if the Police wants to do so. They can also block the payment transfer to merchant's bank acount, which is not instantaneous. However neither our Police nor our Govt support the victims properly in such cases

Caution  needs to be taken .

Today i also  did  mistake posting it .

Now websites address also need to be checked  properly as little alphabet  spelling  symbol change by fake websites  as  original websites

Always type complete url if possible and avoid just clicking search results  of even  the popular websites

Online transfer have all the source and destination digitally recorded.. so I guess they must have fraud acc with other pan adhar and they cash withdrawal and deposit in own acc.. else its really tuff to sustain this fraud for long no_mouth‍🌫️🤷

Its easy to trace if the scammer is a commoner and fresher. If it's done by an elaborate, rich, powerful and experienced group then it's not easy. 

Seen a case like that some time back last year in crime patrol and they actually showed why it's not easy when done by the latter group.

Huge monetary/laundering scams are even done by the rich and powerful or in rarer case, genius hackers, even in developed countries and NEVER get caught.

Keep on escalating issue to payment gateway and merchant as they are only the faster way to get refund back money, banking process gets too much delayed to reverse money and in some cases they later denied to reverse money saying your mistake
