Want to buy silver jewellery they seem affordable so

So I have ordered this e-ink tablet hoping I can take good notes and I get to know about it from an instagram ad by the ig handle in the first image,it seem so legit. So at the time of ordering they gave me an order number to track it but I was not able and now today the delivery guy eventually delivered it and man,I got scammed and got this lame ass headphones.

Please report this ig handle and help me take out these assholes

Last year, I purchased a mattress from Coirfit, trusting the brand because of its strong online presence and reputation.

After using it for around 1.5 years, I recently discovered that the product delivered to me was not what I had ordered. I specifically ordered a coir mattress, but after inspecting it properly, it turns out to be a foam mattress instead.

The biggest issue with products like mattresses is that customers usually cannot verify the internal material at the time of delivery. I kept struggling with discomfort and poor sleep, assuming the mattress would improve over time or that I simply needed to adjust to it.

Unfortunately, that was not the case. I now feel misled and extremely disappointed by this experience.

I don't understand why brands have to cheat their customer in such ways.

Just some moments ago my SIL got this massage and she asked me what to do. I have no idea about it. Please help us to understand it.

Got this message just now when I haven't even done anything related to reset password. The number seems from UK and it is also verified on WhatsApp. Still I wasn't sure and I reported as scam and hacking potential and blocked it. As far as I know, instagram never sends reset link on WhatsApp, it is always on email. Is this really a scam by someone pretending to be instagram??

Everyone eventually reaches a breaking point while searching for jobs — especially IT professionals. Scammers posing as “consultancies” are taking full advantage of this situation.

There are many so-called placement consultancies that promise guaranteed jobs.

Here’s how the scam usually works:

You hear from someone — maybe a friend or a friend of a friend — that they got placed through a consultancy. You enroll and pay a huge amount: ₹1.5 lakh, ₹2 lakh, sometimes even ₹3 lakh. Some consultancies even arrange loans in the name of “education loans.”

In return, they promise jobs with packages like 3 LPA, 4 LPA, or more. They show you a list of 10–12 companies and ask you to choose one. The interview process is often fake or extremely easy. Sometimes even staying silent in the interview still results in an offer letter.

Once you receive the offer letter, you feel relieved and hopeful. If the company is in another city, you relocate — often by taking additional loans for place and living expenses because you believe you finally have a stable career.

Initially, everything looks legitimate:

\- Office space

\- Colleagues

\- Seniors

\- Projects

\- HR process

But within a month, reality starts becoming clear.

The seniors are fake.

The projects are fake.

The company itself is often just an illusion created to rotate money and exploit desperate job seekers.

After a month or two, pressure begins:

\- Unrealistic project demands

\- Excessive workload

\- Constant mental harassment

\- Forced Performance Improvement Plans (PIP)

Some people quit at this stage due to stress. Those who survive beyond 3 months understand the real picture.

After that:

\- Salaries stop coming

\- Employees are treated badly

\- People are asked to resign

\- Or told to “wait” because of PIP issues

And here’s the real catch:

The consultancy contract usually promises “support” only for the first 3 months. During that time, you may still be eligible to demand help or a refund. Once that period ends, they completely ignore you.

After 3 months:

\- The consultancy stops responding

\- The company stops responding

\- Calls and messages are ignored

People try approaching authorities, police, labor departments, or organizations — but in many cases, victims feel helpless and unsupported.

Many such companies are operating openly in Pune itself:

\- Under the name of educational firms

\- Placement consultancies

\- Or standalone IT companies

Now think about the scale:

One company manages around 200 employees per batch.

Calculation:

200 × ₹4.5 lakh (average amount paid) = ₹9 Crore

And this is only ONE company.

There are many more operating in the same way.

Some of these companies have reportedly been running for the last 3 years.

Hey guys, wanted to share an incredibly frustrating experience I’ve had with Flipkart and their quick-commerce service, Flipkart Minutes, over the last few days. It seems their new business model is charging consumers for premium products, completely omitting them from the delivery box, and then keeping the money by hiding behind automated "reporting windows."

​I've had this happen on two separate orders within the same week:

​Case 1: The Grocery Order (Order ID: OD437554509852751200)

​Missing Item: Mother Dairy Cow Ghee (1L Pouch) worth ₹625.00

​The Scam: The delivery came, but the ghee was missing. I got in touch with support, and their team internally verified and explicitly confirmed that the item was never delivered. Yet, they flat out denied a refund because I didn't flag it within an arbitrary 3-day "grocery-day return policy timeline." They generated an internal Incident ID (IN26051913260226340901) but refuse to give the money back.

​Case 2: The Flipkart Minutes Order (Order ID: OD337580398297526200)

​Missing Item: Pond’s Bright Beauty Day Cream worth ₹125.00

​The Scam: Same story. The cream was left out of the quick-commerce delivery. When I initiated a return/refund for the missing product, their genius system assigned a delivery boy to "pick it up." Obviously, since I never received the item, I couldn't hand it over to the rider. The rider marked it on his app as "Quality Check Failed at doorstep." Support closed the ticket (IN26051923162932863789) saying the window is shut.

​Why this is completely unethical and illegal:

Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, this is a clear case of "Deficiency of Service" and "Unfair Trade Practices." An internal corporate policy or a 3-day deadline cannot legalize keeping money for goods you officially acknowledge you never delivered. That is literally just unjust enrichment.

​I’ve already initiated a formal complaint through the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) portal using both incident numbers and support logs as primary evidence.

​Be very careful while ordering from them, especially via Flipkart Minutes. If you miss checking your delivery by even an hour or don't fight their glitchy app instantly, they will gladly pocket your money. Blinkit and Zepto are lightyears ahead of this absolute mess.

​Has anyone else successfully broken through their automated customer care firewall for missing items? Any advice on escalating this further?

I ordered T-shirts a month ago from kwabey. They stayed in ‘processing’ for 10 days, and then the company cancelled the order and refunded the money to my wallet. Now, when I try to place a new order using the wallet balance, it says the wallet isn’t working and keeps showing an error

How it's my fault that their pickup guy wrongfully marked my item as successfully picked up?? Now I have 2 useless Bras which I won't be able to use.

So, after partnering with Fake sellers and giving them the tag of Amazon Fulfilled, now this is a new way which Amazon has found out to scam people. They will initiate Return and will silently update in their server that the return pickup is completed.

So, i didnt open the App knowing I have already placed the return so now I can chill.. But the pickup never happened and the Return window closed so Amazon can't do anything. I dont know who's involved here - amazon or Pickup associates.

This is a serious Privacy breach from this shit brand WTF. They have bot followers and literally no engagement on their page (see the 2nd slide).

Story- I ordered a shirt from their website and within half an hour I decided to cancel it but there was not any clear option on the website. So I texted them and asked for cancellation. They said it’s done sir (3rd slide).

After cancellation I was in a confusion that should I order again or not and i decided not to order from their website and ordered another shirt from a different website.

After a week my order came I received it didn’t really checked the price and paid the amount. Then when I saw the package i got to know that it was that cancelled shirt from WTF. I was thinking maybe they didn’t canceled it so okay now it came let it be. (It was my mistake also that I paid without checking the name of the product)

Then I opened that package and it was a used skirt that too like people wear in mela and acts or nukkad natak. (4th slide).

In the 5th and 6th slide you can clearly see that itself their shirt name on the package.

Now I contacted them and asked that you told me it’s cancelled but still it came and that too with not the original product.

Then they said that we haven’t even dispatched your order (7th slide).

I accept that I paid without checking the package but now the whole point is privacy breach. Due to that, this whole thing happened.

Suppose they are right but how the fuck they leaked my details. My address my phone number !!!???

Guys should I register a formal complaint for this privacy leak? Or any other suggestion what should I do?

Their MO remains to charge a subscription fee upfront- not provide a worker- block the customers number.

The founder pocket the money and get away with it leaving customers frustrated and helpless

Save your peace and money.
