[Resolved] Shopping. Indiatimes.com — BIG Online SCAM from Indiatimes Shopping

B Basavaraj Patil from Chennai, Tamil Nadu

There is a BIG online SCAM going on with Indiatimes shopping and public will not know easily how they get cheated. PLEASE do not buy anything online from Indiatimes shopping or Rediff shopping. They are real suckers on the planet. I ordered a product on 17th April for Rs 555/-. They said it will be processed and sent in 7 business days. On the 10th day, they will send you a surprise email saying that your order cannot be processed and instead of refunding they will give a certificate which you are forced to buy something else and has to uses within a month or it will expire. The catch here is you will never get anything with similar price or if available you may not like that product. So you have only two options left, 1) buy a product for lesser value and the remaining gone as the gift certifcate expires 2) Buy a higher value and end up paying more and there is no guarantee on what you will recieve. Just imagine how much they will be gaining if they cheat this way. Assume 10000 people for trapped into this SCAM. Even if 1 rupee was left with them from the certificate, they will make easily 10000 rupees by siting in 4/4 cubical or you bouggt by addtional money. Either they forcing you and making easy money. I believe this is a BIG SCAM going in with India time online shopping and Rediff online shopping. MY advice for all of you is not to buy anything online even if appears to be cheaper buying from them. They are money sucker and are real online beggers. I have had bad expereince with both Refidd and India times and my goal is prevent this scam as much as possible. Please spead this to all know people and save money. Thanks for taking time to read these contents. Thanks Raj Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)

I agree with you and yes they are cheating public like anything and this needs to be stopped. The only way as you say let every one know about this scam and stop buying online products. See before and then compare and buy is the best solution. I got once one produce and it was with rediff. What was published was different and the sent one was different.

I completely agree with Raj. I burnt my fingers with Rediff Shopping too. It's shocking that these big portals have no qualms about cheating and deceiving people. I ordered a pair of Cargo Shorts from rediff shopping recently (order no.5472745). At least that's what I thought I'd be getting. I happily processed my order, and couldn't wait to pay the courier guy when he reached my house.

What I opened the package, I was shocked to say the least. I laid my eyes on the most horrible looking shorts (if I can call them that) I have ever seen. Seriously, someone would have to pay me money to wear these in public. The material is like a rag, a dirty paper thin cloth. The design and styling is nowhere near cargo - these are more like the bermudas that were popular a decade ago. To top it all, the colour, is a PALE YELLOW WITH FLOWERS ON IT. Not Blue, Black, Green, Brown or Khakhi mentioned on the order page. Rediff.com, if you're reading, would you call these Cargo Shorts?

After reporting the matter to the rediff support team, I got a message saying that I should courier the order back to the cheat seller who sent this to me from Mumbai. Yes sure, and I now I should spend that more money on top of this.

I wish I could post a picture of what I received here so that everyone can see the clear difference between promises and delivery. I also wonder how many people were swindled like me. Interestingly, rediff rates this seller (K-ValueMart, Mumbai) highly. Rediff Shopping, get your act together.
