I saw an ad on Youtube for Foodora India website. It is mentioned as Tata Alliance website. Some offer is mentioned that 500 rupees food order in 50 rupees after coupon. I thought a new company is launched and they are providing big promo offer. Even the website is encrypted so I didnt doubt it. Final payment page was showing 50 rupees but when I added credit card and did the transaction, 40,000 rupees are deducted from my ICICI Credit Card. I have the screenshots. How do I complaint and resolve this issue? Will my issue be resolve by ICICI bank? Will the deducted amount be returned? Please let me know about your experiences. Please let me know any priority email IDS (emails of any high management).
Thanks.

As aamaadmi said Common Scam : Letting User pay the payment on their site by showing manipulative front end price but in backend it gets processed for higher amount. ( ALWAYS PAY ON BANK PAGE AND CHECK AMOUNT & MERCHANT)


Actions you must immediately take :- 

1) Report https://cybercrime.g...n/ and note your complaint number.

2) Raise chargeback with your bank and share Cybercrime number as well.

3) Contact Payment gateway WIBMO https://www.wibmo.co/conta...s/ and attach Cybercrime details and tell them they will be held responsible for unknowingly supporting a fraud MERCHANT and future payment must be hold as risk flag.

Then how to check a genuine website?

@baludesi Always check the SSL certificate of the site by clicking on padlock icon in address bar of browser then clicking on more details(similar process for all browsers with slight differences). If the certificate is free like R3(if you don't know then simply copy paste the certificate authority name & search in google by typing the authority name followed by free ssl certificate) & if you find that authority does provide free ssl certificate then that is red flag no.1. Now go to any whois site & type the site name & search for its complete public details. If the site registered just a few months/year back & most of its details are hidden/no proper contact email/phone no. then that's red flag 2. Go to any big popular forum like DD & ask there if the site is genuine or ppl have some experience of the site & wait for replies. Unless confirmed by multiple users that site is genuine don't do any txn there.

I used to think about the possibility of fraud here and why no one has tried yet and see.

Some smart-ass merchants are also to be blamed for not writing the Txn amount on OTP SMS. They need to be beaten in their ass with a stick. This is one reason why I find rupay cards are risker. Also never enter OTP on the merchant or PG page, always go to the bank's page and enter there. Again, smart-ass merchants are coming up more with their own OTP page as if they are safe as a bank! I think RBI should give a notice to stop such things from the Merchant end. Let merchants only sell goods, not act like a bank!

Just dispute and relax.. your work will be done.. why so much hype for this . When you dispute thr transaction and if you genuine case will be in your favour.. people here are hyping this post . Study cc dispute mechanism first .

Bro sorry for opposing your comment but dimers are not unnecessarily hyping up this post but the real motive of this post is to let others know the advancement of scammers and to make everyone aware that scammers are no longer using bhaiya OTP bolo or sir your rewards are expired etc techniques. This seriously needs to be voted up and I myself was shocked at how smart the scammer is. The people who read this at least follow the precautionary measures such as entering OTP on the bank's page, checking the authenticity of the website, setting lower limits etc and thus they can be saved from future scams. That will be the ultimate achievement of this post. Elders are easily prone to get cheated so we should teach them too. I pray that the OP gets his amount back and thanks to him for bringing this to light.

Immediately raise a dispute to your Bank from where money is deducted. Don't think about catching the fraud or so. First of all try to get your deducted amount back. Lodge a complaint to Cyber Crime department as well. Read all the informative comments here and do that process accordingly.

@not dopemonk. you will be asked by court "so, you were making screenshots while paying rs. 50 because you either knew you'd get scammed OR you are a rival business. And if its for proof/reference, nobody wastes time on Rs. 50 tnx. In all 3 cases you lose. Court dismissed bye".

(sorry if real. very big loss 40000 and also your credentials with scammer. BlueStone must be keeping verified customer details as robbers can rob jewellery delivery carrying more customers' boxes. Even at the least OTP or email OTP must ve been used by customer(the fraudster fake foodora) . Other things like foodora allowing duplicate logo/site, cybercrime, banking depper legality are common considered steps)

[dopemonk you are busy fighting so PLEASE don't reply my post, its just for chat with others]

Foodora scam, got scammed for 44k on credit card

Here are some details

I saw the transaction it went to RAZ*PRAGYAVID INDIA PRI Jaipur In

So basically the gateway is razorpay and company is PRAGYAVID INDIA PRI Jaipur

Here are company details

https://www.zaubacorp.com/company/PRAGYAVID-IND...

Pragyavid India Private Limited's Corporate Identification Number is (CIN) U80902RJ2019PTC066567 and its registration number is 66567.Its Email address is [email protected] and its registered address is F-7,MALVEA APPARTMENT C-SCHEME, ALONG WITH BJP HEADQUATER JAIPUR Jaipur RJ 302001 IN .

Director DIN 08582552 RAVIKANT VERMA

Government cybercrime department can easily trace down the bank as well as PAN details by raising a case with razorpay . Razorpay has a dedicated support system for such cyber crime.Later fobtacting bank to identify who took money out from the registered bank account and trace either by cctv or online transactions

This is a big scam they have another company registered with name Futtaim India Private Limited's Corporate Identification Number is (CIN) U17299RJ2021PTC075568 and its registration number is 75568.Its Email address is [email protected] and its registered address is S/o Lala Ram 65/62 RHB Sector-06 Pratap Nagar Sanganer Jaipur Jaipur RJ 302033 IN .

I hope OP and other people who got scammed get back their money fast but chances are very rare that these scammers will get caught


My friend was once incharge of state cyber crime cell but now transferred he told me why these people do not get caught

They use stolen mobiles, stolen sims and stolen bank accounts fake identifies to do this crime and police is unable to trail these people and sometimes they do get caught but in court police can't do much and these people easily get bail and they keep on doing these crimes 


example :- they trap poor people( Rickshaw walla, Sabjhi walla in the name of govt scheme ) and give them Rs 2000 or 3000 and open their bank account and keep  their ATM, sometimes they use fake identity to open bank account, next this ATM is sent by courier to another person whose work is to withdraw cash from another state, now crime is done by scammer who  is in  Delhi, under name of some Rajasthani man and cash is withdrawn in Bihar...
now this takes times sometimes months and if this Delhi scammer is caught he easily gets bail because money was not recovered from him and identity was stolen and that too was not his identity 


Another point here is Greed some people got trapped because of greed and also negligence, scammers are getting smart day by day and we mango people need to stay alert because I know police and our system is not going to take action because of loop holes in law

Wibmo is not a Payment Gateway.

Options to get your money back:

1. File a chargeback with your bank. If they don't allow follow step 2.

2. Ask your bank about the Payment Gateway, Payment Aggregator used for this transaction. Both are different. 

A payment aggregator is Razorpay, PayU and PGs are HDFC, ICICI, KOTAK etc. 

When you know the PA, File a complaint to PA that how did they do a KYC of scam company. 

In parallel, File a complaint to Blue stone keeping the PA in cc, let them fight and resolve.

This will become for which PA that has allowed transaction.

To get accepted as a merchant, there are stringemt checks about the website, KYC, MCA, PaN,, aadhar, Bank account etc. 

Do follow the steps that other people have suggested, but keep in mind whoever settles the money from CC to Scammer account is directly responsible for accountability and comes under RBI Supervision. In this case PA/PG. 

Write a linkedin post after identifying PG. RBI is already canceling their licenses, this will scare them even more if there is visibility.

Raise concern to Bank which you have already done and dispute is raised so ICICI has to stop this as CC transactions are settled in 2-3 days. It has been 8-9 days now, if ICICI CC first level does not help, ask them to escalate to 2nd and 3rd level etc.. They can stop and trace it.

I had a similar case once with Rayban glass phising site . Luckily at that time it showed amex visa etc afe allowed when i used Amex the transaction could not proceed i suspected something is wrong and did not went ahead   . I think with any bank issuing visa mastercard or upi cc its risky and very difficult once u get into the trouble like these as these are not the payment channel owners. In this case Amex is better.

Hope u get ur money back

Trying to learn about the scam, I stumbled upon this forum thread. I fell for the stupid website and the OTP was auto filled by phone. Everything happened all to quick and about 30K was damage! 

I filled a complaint with HDFC and blocked the card. It took them 2 weeks to get back to saying I'll have to pay it. 

"We would like to inform you that upon investigation, we observe from our records that the said charge is incurred on secure mode. In view of the above, we wish to inform you that the said transaction was incurred by an authorized person and hence the transaction remains payable on the card account."

I have escalated with Grievance Redressal Officer, I don't have much hopes to be honest.

Yes. Cyber Crime complaint was filed right away and report was sent to HDFC CC disputed. I had requested then to put the transaction on hold, they said nothing of that sort would be done. I was kinda hopefully HDFC would help. Let's see fingers crossed

Same thing happened to me, ordered groceries on this website - pohunch.com, which I found via Google Shopping, order amount was ₹192 paid via UPI, never got the products, it has been over 3 months, no contact with support whatsoever. No Refund, no chargeback. Websites like these are running away with our money and we can not do anything.

India's CyberCrime department is just for namesake. We know how govt employee works thats too with zero technical and analytical skills you can't catch such scammers. It like trying to chase a ferrari with a wagonR joy

That would be wrong analogy because wagon r will atleast move from its place. Our law enforcement dept won't move at all. May be Ferrari against a rock would be apt analogy.

After I have received the refund, the bank sent me an email stating that otp was given out on the transaction page and they are not responsible for this transaction and closed the complaint case. They are of no help, perhaps they might have contacted the merchant but I am not sure.

I genuinely thank everyone who helped me in this case, provided me all the information and suggestions to be followed. With so much of excitement, I keep telling my friends and family about so many new deals, offers but this was an eye opener. Everyone thinks that you are safe from it but never realise that such scam/fraud can happen with you also until it really happens with you.  😓
