I regularly buy gvs from this forum members and first time I found a fraudster, @ DealMaker411.
I bought 10k single FK gv from him on 10.10.24 and on that full balance was there in gv.
I bought 5k * 2 vouchers today and when I tried to redeem them I found those gv numbers are just random numbers means those are not gvs at all. Then I checked the earlier bought 10k voucher balance and it's reduced by 577/-.
I am alerting here as caution to all.
If he refund my amount I will update here, until then be cautious and better don't risk your money by dealing with him.
Update-1:- The amount I have paid for the two 5k gvs on yesterday, which were found to be some random numbers not gv numbers at all, i got my amount back from him at 2pm today (14.10.24). And for the earlier bought 10k gv which found to be redeemed partially by someone else, he sought time till tomorrow (15.10.24) morning for doing some necessary inquiry and then do the refund, I agreed to it.
Thanks to all including those posted negative comments @sherlock for keeping my thread alive.
Next update on tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the valuable alert and infos:) lets keep things clean:)
if possible post screenshot of some linking proofs for people to look into it (after masking unwanted / personal infos)
lets see how this gets sorted out
VU+ for awareness
I am not a scamster as discussed with you my friend
As we discussed in personal chat, if that's the case then it should have been a scam happened to me and as I am not a scamster I requested you to wait till morning so that I can do due diligence on my side and then I can return your money , what better and quicker solution I can provide on this?
Before you buy gift vouchers, make sure you verify their source.
I never quite understood why people buy high-value gift cards from individuals. Like, can't you just get them through apps like Zingoy or Tata Neu? Sure, you might be able to negotiate a bit, but how much are you really saving? ₹100, ₹300? Is that really worth the risk? Feels like playing Deal or No Deal with your wallet.??!! Be smart, boys—let's not turn savings into stress!!!
What about your money? that is why I don't want to make any recharge or bill payments for users they might trick you and make you lose your money.
Limit ka chakkar Bhai.... 1 cards se kitna buy kroge max 1L add on ke sath
अब पछताए होत क्या जब चिड़िया चुग गई खेत
UPDATE - I did my due diligence and figured out that I got scammed yesterday and those 5k vouchers are fake but I am not a scamster and I am ready to return 9700 with immediate effect and for the 10k voucher as the owner of this post said, it is partially used so I am still checking on that as I need to make sure that it is not him scamming me, I asked him to give me another day to check on that voucher but for the 5k ones, I am ready to return money immediately, if it sounds good to the community let me know as the OP is not agreeing on this so someone needs to mediate this if I am making sense
he is not responding or may be offline so seems to be skipped his remaining payment supposed to be complete by today morning.
Till now, this issue has not been resolved and Zingoy is looking into it, how can you expect me to give your money back for a gift card you bought 6 days ago without doing any due diligence on my side?? Behave like a man, I am not going anywhere and as soon as I saw that there was a scam happened to me , I made sure you are not affected and returned money to you immediately yesterday itself but right now the transaction you are talking about is 6 days old transaction and you suddenly raised it yesterday, still I am not taking my responsibility away but making sure i am not being scammed, so zingoy is doing it's due diligence and I am waiting for their response
Note - First para is on topic, second is random rant.
Fk gv on zingoy is issued through api by themselves. It's not possible that there will be a lapse from their side. Someone else has used it and zingoy will give the account number at max. They won't refund or provide a new gv in 99% cases.
It's risky to not use gvs immediately when dealing with strangers. I even get paranoid about adding stray gvs to my main shopping accounts, only using temporary Fk and Amazon accounts to add such gvs. Even this is not 100% safe as gvs can be revoked even after adding to account, so I prefer consuming them together ASAP.
On 14.10.24 the fraudster @DealMaker411 actually 420 it should be made a false assurance of returning my amount by 15.10.24 morning. But it's more than 5 days still payment not done yet.
I am trying to investigate myself a little bit. If I become successful, will update it here.
may I know the reason for locking the subsequent thread @admin https://ddime.i...DP
From my preliminary investigation, I came to know that the fraudster @DealMaker411 sold this gv to to gullible buyer, and that buyer luckily be the fastest finger amongst us by using the gv first, his registered flipkart account name- Anin, last 4 digits of mobile number- 3553.
Further details will be posted later.
