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.

@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!

@dopemonk great!!!. 

So immediately complaining to bluestone solved everything? also how long did it take?

It took around a week for the refund, I kept following up with the merchant and called many times to ask about the status. I also think that the fraudster was buying gift cards from the merchant website to redeem at offline stores and was losing hope because tracking someone and recovery in that case would be very difficult. But it's unclear what he ordered on the website. Saw some other posts regarding same scam, the merchant was Fastrack also.

If the merchant name is bluestone and the fraudsters are  just using its name how did the bluestone returned your money ?

Fraudsters were not just using the name of Bluestone. They were buying jewellery gift vouchers from Bluestone website. In many cases the merchants such as Bluestone & Woohoo act faster than your bank in blocking the purchased gift cards and thereafter reverse the merchant transaction from their end in the credit card after complainant submits all evidence and copy of FIR.
