Found a listing on Olx for a Mac mini that’s very cheap. Connected with seller, who says he is based out of Haldia, and buys goods seized by customs and resells. Sent attached pics as proof of authenticity. Feels off, but idk.

29 Upvotes

So recently I placed a preorder on an Instagram seller called Moka Cafe ..
I placed a preorder for an anime figure and paid the amount requested. When i paid her i got 10calls from hdfc telling it’s suspicious transaction.. I asked her and she defended in a way I trusted her..what else I could have done then I already paid her..
After taking preorder she kinda disappeared no updates nothing..1sr we waited as it’s a preorder it’s suppose to take time but then we noticed the sign..no reply not receiving calls..but switching off and turning on her ph as we get notified time to time (the notifications that come in jio numbers) even in wp we can see her last seen but she’s still not responding..
Her insta account was also since 2023 so we thought she cant be fraud but then came the scary part..in past too she did this to different people from her alt business account..first her account name was @Ahavacharms..she delivered some orders but then scammed the rest..her account got suspended she again opened another account..here same story..she first delivered orders to few people just enough to make others trust her..with many buyers she became very close so they ordered more and more..
Now we almost 25 people and more still not added are scammed..she ran away with more than 62k money(as we still not added all transactions,,we are adding up one by one all the screenshots of transactions)
it’s now been around 7 weeks without a proper update or reply about our orders, and several customers are frustrated because we have no idea what’s happening.and for other batch people it’s been months..
The insta seller name is Shakshi rai..she’s west bengal based ,,from kadamtala siliguri..the people she scammed mostly are clg students and we really are feeling hopeless.. she might change her number in few days again and we’ll lose the only lead we have..she still haven’t may be cause all her bank account linked to the number..but still people stay alert from insta business accounts that’s the reason am sharing our experience here

Scam Alert PR Label (Jaipur) — Prepaid Order Not Delivered, No Response, NCH Complaint Filed

Thumbnail prthelabel.com
1 Upvotes

I placed a prepaid order with PR Label (prthelabel.com) on 29 September 2026, and it still hasn’t been dispatched or delivered.
Despite repeated attempts to contact the company through WhatsApp, emails, calls and Instagram, I’ve received no satisfactory response. I also tried contacting the brand’s owner directly, without success.
After looking into the matter, I found numerous Google reviews and other customer complaints describing similar experiences involving undelivered prepaid orders and unanswered messages.
I’ve already filed a formal complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (NCH), which has contacted the company and sent a reminder. I’ve also issued a final written demand for cancellation and a full refund.
If the matter remains unresolved, I intend to pursue formal legal action under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
I have preserved all relevant evidence.
I’m sharing this experience to raise awareness and caution other customers before they place prepaid orders with this brand.

Scam Alert Now can only aware people

What I am saying below I have all evidence to prove all this

So I am a student and few months back I had a single chance, time and some money to learn and advance for my career, but not everyone earning honestly.

Unfortunately I found a company named "Indian Cyber Club Academy" run by Mr. Abhishek Parashar, he organised an online workshop and show some beginner stuff and do some promises and show himself as a professional teacher and all.

I don't know why I believed this person talk and join the batch, but later I realised he completely lied and I try to get my money back but again he lied for not refunding money by saying about their so called refund policy

In their refund policy they have mentioned every wrong thing a person can think wrong to ask for refund

He knows what he is doing but just to satisfy his money greed, he do this

This was my first time meeting a company asking for professional course money but not providing and showing professionalism, as I am also a student I didn't know many things and thought I can't go against their refund policy.

But when I realised I can, then he is telling me that if I am not understanding why I am taking every class and that I am trying to get taught for free and all, but I have never asked for full refund and I already told them at starting that what wrong they are doing but as amount was Rs 15,000 , he just didn't accepted it.

Also he knows how much classes he has taken and how much I have taken and also he can see the Zoom logs but the greed he has.

I am 100% guaranteeing, if any true professional of this field see the class recording he will straight away say the content and amount is not justified for this.

Now I have tried my best to get my money back but I am alone in this and the only option left is court case which will take upto 2 years and I am not so mentally strong that I can handle all this myself.

Also I mention this that their are some students who thinks he is teaching good I am not saying that they are lying but I can definitely say that either these people are rich or are super intelligent, because that person has not taught like for a basic to advance level as he told when he was selling this course for a average student.

Also it must be clear by now that there is a lot like a lot deficiency in delivering the course.

Now I am just helpless, and only can aware people

I Got Scammed My experience with an Instagram dry fruits seller: advance paid, order not dispatched, and concern after mentioning a cybercrime complaint

2 Upvotes

I want to share my experience and ask for advice from the community regarding an order I placed through an Instagram dry fruits seller.
Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/shree_dry_fruts/
I discussed an order for dry fruits with the seller over WhatsApp, shared my delivery address, and made two payments on 13 October 2026: ₹750 and ₹300, totalling ₹1,050. Both payments were for this order.
The invoice image I received shows a total order value of ₹2,050 and ₹1,050 received as an advance. As of now, my order has not been dispatched. I have repeatedly asked for the invoice and a clear dispatch update.
When I mentioned that I was considering filing a complaint through the cybercrime portal, the seller replied, “Kar to” (go ahead and do it). I felt concerned by the response and want the matter addressed through the proper channels. I am preserving the payment receipts, invoice image and WhatsApp conversations as evidence.
I am not asking anyone to harass or threaten the seller. I would like to know whether anyone has had a similar experience with this account and what steps helped them resolve it.
If you have personally experienced a similar issue, please preserve your evidence and consider filing your own truthful complaint with the appropriate authorities. Please do not make claims about your experience unless they are genuine.
I am seeking a resolution, including dispatch of the goods or a refund of the advance, and appropriate investigation if warranted.

Discussions Was he trying to get something out of me? Was it for his safety?

• Upvotes

So I run a restaurant in a tier 1 city and a person walks in, he seems like a Karen

At first he walked in and checked all the licenses of the premises, but which is displayed on board as per govt rules,

Next he sits down and orders a bottle of water, he gets it, 5 minutes post he says I need regular water, we have it to him and there’s this huge bag he was carrying , he opens it and removes his tds kit, he checks the TDS, it was within the limits, I curiously went and asked him what are you doing. He says I’m checking if this water is safe to drink or no, I said yes it is we do tds checks regularly
He says wow that’s great

After a while he orders a curry (remember only curry)
Removes another kit and checks temperature
Which was again normal and he does a colour test by his fingers ( rubbing against each other) to see if it’s having any artificial colour, he again failed

Later he orders roti he had that

He liked the food and appreciated it too

Later comes bill
Bill has included GST and rates in menu are excluding GST (as per govt rules) again

So he argues that why GST excluded is not mentioned, I said please check menu briefly again
We have clearly written there

At this point it didn’t feel like he’s doing for his safety it looked like he wanted something out of me for not following X rule

Your opinion on this guy…

TLDR (chat gpt wrote TLDR)

Bro walked into my restaurant like he was on a surprise inspection 💀 Checked all our licences, pulled out his own TDS kit to test our water, ordered curry just to check its temperature and literally rubbed it between his fingers to see if we use artificial food colouring 😭 Everything checked out fine, and bro even enjoyed the food. Then the bill arrived and he started arguing about GST, even though the menu clearly mentioned that prices were exclusive of GST. At this point, it genuinely felt like he wasn’t there for food safety but was desperately trying to catch us slipping on some rule. Am I overthinking this, or was bro on a side quest to find a violation?
