I ordered from following website which is pretending to be boat company (https://musicboat-in.myshopify.com/).
I soon realised that its fraud website as receipt received in my mail mentions name ‘DARSHANKUMAR BHOGILAL PATEL’ instead of boat company. Its is registered as merchant in PayU.
I paid via PhonePe & it’s showing that paid to PayU Payments Private Limited.
I raised complaint in PhonePe, my bank & PayU portal. 1930 is not working.
Is there any way to block this transaction, withhold money in this merchants account & flag the website as fraudulent asap. This will help many other potential victims too.
I know that chances of refund is very less.. I want to just raise complaint & take down the website & payment system.
- Sort By
To me it clearly seems fraudulent.
1. Official website is different
2. Too good to be true discounts
3. Name of Darshan.. in receipt from PayU
I was outside & paid without much enquiry on payment link, sent by cousin. Realised the fraud later.
🥺
Its a fake website, can be easily identify by looking product prices along with offer "buy 2 get 1 free." Shown as limited period offer but am sure that even after 2 months you will see same offer or even better offer.
Phone And Payu Will not Help as they will say they are only payment aggregator.
Site is Completed Fake So Forget about Refund.
In case of only Chargeback it's possible to ref
Just wanted to raise complain so that other people don’t fall in trap.
boggles my mind on how dumb people can be, how did you even think thats an official website with that shitty domain, damn.
Bro.. lets leave technicalities.
We all know that its a fraud website. Better is to raise complaint now, than wait for the inevitable & let others suffer.
There are many such fake sites which advertise regularly on Fb and Insta.
Looks like you’ll have to take the L here
Can you please share the lead source for the website. They used to run AdSense and Facebook/Instagram ads earlier; I just wanted to check their development.
For your situation:
- You'll not make a strong case against them under a fake website. The boat's trademark is nowhere mentioned/altered on the site. They have listed boat products, which any resellers can. Unless you can generate a written note from the boat saying, "site is not affiliated with them," you don't have such a case on your hand.
- You'll soon receive a genuine tracking number from meesho. He'll ship a product to your address, and the meesho delivery agent will confirm the delivery if you receive the parcel.
- If you're lucky, they might accept your return request and issue a refund. But that's the most unlikely case.
If you can message them from any mail mentioned or message us with police complaint threats, then you might get your money back as I have seen their dashboard, and it's lacs per month. Even if they issue refunds to 20% of their orders, they still have a big pocket. Unfortunately, this whole hub operates from my city and is somehow related to my community.
They're primary school or college dropouts who sells imported Chinese items listed on Amazon and Flipkart and run this Shopify as a side. Their most baits are from Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, and Kolkata, and the typical middle class ignores to make a police complaint.
I would highly recommend you to file a police complaint for the sake of other people whose order amount would be a significant part of their earnings, will help you at my best whenever I can.
I’ll ask my cousin to forward the link from Instagram.. where he got this website.
I’m a bit confused here.. will I get any parcel? I thought they would just vanish with the money n won’t send anything.
And where can I file the police complaint? I don’t want to go offline. 1930 is not working. Cybercrime reporting portal is just returning to home page after I fill out all the details.
how about informing to real Boat Support and may be they know how to handle these scam artists.
Its clearly fake deal.. But is their any method or way to way the money back as most of the ppl in my office get trap in it and Lost their money.. So let me knw if anyone help
Beware..that website has now changed its name to https://boat-lifetyle.myshopif...m/
It's a fraud website. Saw a tweet today. Even after 8 months people are getting scammed.
Boat-Scam
