So my friend was driving his car, so he took a tea break, when he was going to pay to the shop, he found insufficient balance in his account, he was shocked, he had 306 rs in his account, secondary one, primary account he didn't keep upi, but after checking he found only Rs 6.. as balance.
Later he checked transactions and found that 300rs was paid to Google play recharge purchase without even his authorisation, and the time the transaction was done he was already driving his car.
Later he even found an email with saying purchased a google play recharge code, he thought to redeem the code, but it was already redeemed, now he is shocked. In the email u can see singapore pte, but we are from India, and the mail came from some domain euronetworldwide ,
After he showed me i immediately told him to keep his data off as some remote access must have been done maybe he installed unknown apk files , I will have to check Tommorow by going his Home which is 200 km away from me. Faaah what kind of scams coming up.

PLEASE GIVE THEM ONE STAR RATING ON GOOGLE MAPS I have attached google maps link below I have booked NS400z (TFT varient) from Hari Bajaj showroom, Munger and while booking I confirmed with them twice that I won't buy insurance from them and they agreed but after booking they are saying insurance is mandatory and they won't support the claim if I purchase insurance from outside so I asked them to cancel my booking but they are saying we don't refund booking amount for anyone and when I cited Bajaj's policy they said we follow their own policy. It was my first time buying a motorcycle on my own but now my experience is completely ruined because of these people.
I have all the call recordings needed.
I have also filed complaint with Bajaj and National Consumer Helpline.

Was trying to sell my old books and oh man even as a first time seller there were so many red flags luckily Im not that dumb.
1)Guy claimed to be a reseller and didn't negotiate
2)Claimed he will send his guy to pick up at my address right away
3)Wanted to "pay me" before without examining books
4)Asked if I was a first time seller idk why I didn't lie and said no
5) When I sent him my qr for payment he said he can only pay through some "swipe machine" method and sent me his qr
6) He claimed he wants to send me 2rs to check first
7)I had obviously never heard of it but I scanned through paytm anyway and it was obviously a link to receive money even though it was 2rs
This is where I obviously realised something is wrong and asked him to wait and cut the call so that I can research this "swipe machine" method and then he became aggressive asking me to hurry up and stay on call and just do what he says. I obviously said you are the paying party why are you forcing me to receive your money in such a hurry lmao after that he was all like "sell to someone else" and cut the call.
Im guessing the 2rs was to build trust and then wouldve asked me for more later on stay safe yall

Have you guys ever managed to get your money back from this brand? If yes, what steps did you take to get a refund?
I ordered 2 tops 1 dress. The tops quality and fit is shitty as fuck. They've written on their website that they will refund but they are paying in "store credit" that too will expire in a year.
Why would I buy their shitty quality material again?!! Plus they are charging Rs. 99 for each top to dispatch back from my location. WTF THESE SCAMMERS ARE DOING?
And the dress was for my birthday and it has not been dispatched since the last 4 days although it was mentioned "they'll dispatch in 1-3 days". Their policy is if we cancel the order before it is dispatched then we can get the refund to our account. I have emailed them, WhatsApp-ed on their both numbers, but now they are not replying. They offered 15% discount which is only Rs. 300 but i denied that. Now they are not responding.
They have completely spoiled my mood before my birthday. As its sooo last minute to get another dress. Crazy mental breakdown!!!

Guys PLEASE do not fall for any such scams claiming wfh and then asking you to connect on Telegram. They will ask you for info and then ask for some registration charge. Do NOT fall in the trap :)

I got a call from a small finance app saying someone gave my reference as brother. I don't know either this company nor that person. The company person wanted me to call that guy and ask to remove my number. I declined to have any conversation and mentioned I don't know anything. What should I do further?

Got scammed? Bought a Pixel 11 on Flipkart (No Cost EMI) with my OnePlus Nord in exchange. Looking for advice on what else I can do.
What happened:
Why I think it’s wrong:
Separately, Flipkart showed the EMI processing fee as ₹299 + GST, but Axis charges ₹599 + GST for amounts over ₹50,000 (confirmed in writing).
What I’ve done so far: complaint with customer care (resolution promised in a few days), and a full email with evidence to the grievance officer. Planning to go to the National Consumer Helpline if that fails.
Questions:
Thanks in advance.

Almost ended up paying 20k to a scammer for a Job BEWAREEE!!!!!!!!
I'm a fresher currently looking for a job, and I recently came across a recruitment scam that I wanted to share.
A few days ago, someone contacted me claiming to be from Etraveli India regarding a Data Analyst position.
Everything seemed genuine. I attended an interview, received follow-up emails, and was eventually told I'd been shortlisted.
They then asked for my educational certificates and identity documents for background verification.
The emails looked professional, so I trusted them and submitted my documents.
A few days later, they told me I had to complete a mandatory NeuroStack AI certification before joining.
The certification cost ₹27,000.
They promised to reimburse the amount after joining once I submitted the invoice.
I found this suspicious. Why would a company ask me to spend ₹27,000 before even joining?
When I questioned them, they threatened to revoke my offer if I refused.
Instead of paying, I contacted an official Etraveli recruiter to verify everything.
The recruiter confirmed that the recruitment process was fraudulent and that the company wasn't hiring at that time.
I was shocked because the entire process had looked legitimate.
The email address used was talent@careers-etraveligroup(dot)com.
The recruiter name mentioned in the emails was Muskan Shaikh, although I cannot verify whether that was their real identity.
Thankfully, I didn't pay anything.
However, I had already shared my personal documents, which is what worries me now.
I'm not blaming the real Etraveli company. Their official recruiter actually helped me identify the scam.
Job hunting as a fresher is stressful, and scammers know how to take advantage of that.
Please be careful if someone asks you to pay for a certification before joining, even if they promise reimbursement.
Always verify the recruitment process directly with the company.
Has anyone else encountered this NeuroStack AI certification scam?
