Leading online marketplace Snapdeal finds itself in a situation yet again. The ecommerce company, which is one of the top three in India, was allegedly taken for a royal ride by an unscrupulous buyer. Aman Gupta, a resident of Lucknow reportedly followed a systematic plan to rip Snapdeal off a neat Rs. 24 lakhs. Subsequently the 3rd year B.Tech student, Gupta was arrested by the Hazratganj cyber cell police on charges of cheating Snapdeal.
-Gupta’s modus operandi:
Gupta would order high end products, pay for it, and accept the product. He would then replace the product with a similar item of a different company of much lesser value. In a few hours on the same day, Gupta would raise a complaint with Snapdeal saying that the product was not what he ordered. He would then happily keep the original, accept the refund and return a totally different item to the company.
SSP Rajesh Pandey noted, “This way he managed to keep expensive items and in addition got the amount he would pay.”
The student managed to keep up the game for nearly six months. Suspecting foul play, Snapdeal discovered that while different IDs were placing the orders, the bank account number was the same. The company immediately alerted the cyber cell through a complaint. The latter took it up, and caught Gupta. His account was seized, along with items purchased worth nearly Rs. 2 lakh.
-Past instances and tips to tackle fake buyers:
This is not a new occurrence to online sellers. Flipkart faced a similar problem last year. The company refunded the money when a customer claimed to have got paper instead of the iPhone he had ordered. Flipkart ordered an inquiry, and discovered that the phone was in the possession of the customer to whom it was delivered (through the phone’s IMEI number). Based on Flipkart’s complaint, the fraudsters were arrested.

There is no denying the fact that what this Gupta kid did was wrong but being an engineering graduate I expected him to opt a better modur operandi of the enitre scam he designed
I mean I have been doing this with sellers on major website but have still managed to maintain a low profile
I have around 400+ sim cards and bank accounts and I make sure to use each bank account and sim card only once in each website
I also cleverly incorporate usage of digital wallets and gift vouchers to make sure I don’t leave any footprints behind
And most importantly make sure you don’t pull of a stunt like this in the same pin code again and again
I have travelled extensively across India and got orders delivered from Kashmir to kanyakumari to make my actions dispersed across entire India and prevent any particular area coming redc under the radar
Most importantly don’t buy cellphones in case you have no idea how to forge imei s
There are way too many things to be taken care of to be written here
