If you google about buying Alphonso or Dasheri, there is 101% chance that search options will show Dhanse's Farm.

Everything will look legit - there is proper website, whatsapp business profile, customer care number and email id, they have their own facebook and instagram page, they are on Flipkart, heck they even have their own app which you can download from Playstore and order Mangoes!

But still, Don't buy. Why? Because these people are scammers who are there to steal your money.

You will order crate of Mangoes ranging from 2500 to 13000 Rs (depending on quantity).

And then you wait.

Two things happen -

Case 1. Mangoes never arrive.
You call their customer care numbers, text them, mail them, nobody picks or response. Sometimes a short reply will come, and then again a silence. You realise as your refund request is ignored that you are scammed.

Case 2. Mangoes come but almost 60% of them rotten or spoiled or over riped. Jumbo mango come in size of lilliput mango
You call them and you are told - please check our T&C, only if more than 70% come spoiled we exchange. Remember, not refund, but exchange. You realise you are scammed.

You go on their facebook page and instagram page - few thousand followers are there - but no comments. You then realise comments are set off and hence you cant read a negative comment.

In my case,

I ordered Mango from them on Jun 11th and immediately after order i sensed something is off as I went through internet to read reviews (Yeah, I know I should have read earlier) - I understood these people seem shady.

I immediately asked for refund within 15 mins citing their policy that you can ask for refund if Mangoes are not shipped.

However, i got no response from customer care, whatsapp, email team, moment i asked for refund.

Next morning I get message, Mangoes packed and delivered overnight.

Wow, so I cannot ask for refund now. I mailed them and threatened them of consequences of their malpractice.

Been 2 weeks now - they have not replied to my call, mail, whatsapp message.

And Biggest lie the Mangoes were never shipped, as I checked with Amazon Shipping. No mangoes ever handed over to them. They cancelled order themselves.

INR 2500 neatly pocketed without even sending me rotten mangoes. LOL.

The whole scam is run by husband -wife duo of Mohd Hussain Dhanshe and Rahina Dalvi and their extended fufa, chahcha, bhatija family all based in Bankot.

For example, their cousin, Rehan Dhanshe who owns another mango selling website named RQD Farm and runs a skyline consultancy in mumbai for sending blue collar workers in Gulf.

Another cousin, Munif Dhanshe sells Mango too through his personal number

Each one of them, based in Bazar mohalla Bankot,Mandangad, Dhanshey, Bankot. I don't understand why the police of Bankot not taking action agaisnt them!

This 3rd class family is robbing thousands of people from INR 2000 to 13000, or even more in guise of delivering you picture perfect Mangoes.

What is shocking is that these scammers are not some under-educated people who took to scamming to make living.

The guy Hussain is Mumbai educated, in late 20s or early 30s and is a passout of Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies (Lonavala, 2015) and Kishanchand Chellaram College (2021). And shocking thing is his bio says he works as system engineer in TCS from Nov 6, 2018 to present.

His wife Rahina Dalvi is 10th topper of Dunnes Institute, Colaba, Mumbai in year 2012-13. And this is the character of this topper!

If anyone of you are from these colleges or know somebody who knows them, please shame them for what they are doing with thousands of innocent Indians everyday.

I have list of 50 people of this Husband-Wife family who I will individually text and request to pressurise this couple to return my hard earned money. Not to mention his college, school, work place and Bankot police. Thankfully I will not be reporting these people now that I have got my money back. (see P.S)

I will be putting these people one final mail before registering a consuemr case on them and I will keep you updated. I will also be posting the photos of both these husband wife in my next edit, if they dont respond to my mail (Will not be doing this now, as I got my money back).

But still, my advice, as per my experience, PLEASE DONT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM BUSINESS.

P.S

Yesterday evening, after 16 days, finally I got whatsapp reply from them. They have refunded my amount.

I think this is something to do with my critical post for them i did on Ratnagiri reddit forum, where I identified them for the world (same as in this post). I also gave them zero stars on their Indiamart and Google review.

I think it is also because i mailed them with specific name of their owner Ms Rahina Dalvi in the mail, which might have made them uncomfortable.

Anyways, I will not be ordering anything from them again.

Should you?
I leave on your wisdom.

Strangely, yesterday I also got banned on Ratnagiri reddit and my post there locked. It seems these days anyone who points out scammers who rob innocent people of money is seen as criminal by some reddit moderators.

Anyways, I am posting same post now on this new community started by me. Wish you all well.

But till then, PLEASE DONT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM BUSINESS.

Ordered Pixel 10 Lemon Grass 256GB from Flipkart on 24th June.
Delivery was showing after one day for 25th June.
Order id: OD************805100

Date : 25th June

Waited full day for the phone and then got update on app at 4 PM that delivery shifted to next day as consumer not reachable - This despite fact that I had taken office leave for the phone and I was full day at home.

I immediately gave call to the delivery person number 27 times. Each time either phone was busy or after one ring phone would get cut.

So essentially, that delivery boy number is given just for show. Phone will be delivered only when Mr. Delivery boy is in mood.

Unlike Amazon where delivery boy comes to the location and gives a call if your door is locked, apparently Flipkart delivery boys will call first and if you fail to pick up his phone within his own stipulated time, or if his number goes to spam calls and does not show on you screen (on my phone unknown commercial numbers go to spam), they will never ever deliver! They just wont visit your place if you dont pick their call in time.

I called customer care executive and told her to please call the delivery boy. She said sorry sir call is not getting connected. Delivery is rescheduled for tomorrow.

Not comfortable with high value item getting delayed, I demanded to talk to her senior. She said ok and after few minutes of music the call got disconnected on its own.

I decided to call again. This time when i asked to escalate to senior person, I got connected to a person named Abhishek who listened to me and told me he tried calling the delivery guy but he is not picking.

I told him if delivery guy is not even picking his phone, what hope does a consumer has.

I requested him to please call the delivery guy once more. Thankfully this time he picked and he said he cannot come today as he is far off but he would come tomorrow before 11 am.

With no other option, i agreed.

Date: 26th Jun

The delivery guy came at 11 am after he gave a call to me if i was available.I did open box delivery.

Immediately, after delivery, when i switched on the phone and was checking camera i realise there was a dot size bump below lens which i missed in open box delivery. My family urged me to ignore it.

But I feel if you have paid full price for a brand new phone, why should you expect any defect, even if it is dot size. And anyways what surety is there that this small dot size bump wont become big in future or will not weaken camera glass.

I went on app help section and requested for Return, and i got the reply, return cannot be initiated currently.

Tried it multiple times and finally called customer care.

They said, that due to technical difficulties, the app cannot take return request. Really! The most important section is facing technical difficulty.

Anyways they said we will try to raise return request from their end - that too failed.

Then they said we have escalated from our end and somebody will call you in 3 days to ask details. Mind you, not to initiate return and refund but to ask you and confirm why you want to return.

I sense Flipkart is trying to finish the 7 days return initiaition cycle by delaying like this.

Anyways i will update on what happens next. At Stake is 69000 RS.

P.S - Right from delivery to product quality to return initiation : All 3 steps were bad. I dont think I would be using Flipkart platform again as it is so shady. I mean most basic and important thing is RETURN button and that too not working!
