[Resolved]  Dealsothon Online — False promises and fraud

Address:

Amroha, Uttar Pradesh

I received a call on 4th july(Saturday) from Raghav Thakur stating that I have won a cash prize of Rs. 2, 50, 000. For claiming this I have to a sum of Rs.4999, for which I also get complimentary products. He confirmed me that no further payment is to be made by me for the prize. The payment is to be made through SBI collect gateway and I made the payment on the same day. He said to me that the amount is big so they transfer the same in 3 instalments & I get the first payment of Rs.47, 500 after 15 Min of paying Rs.4999. After paying this Nancy called me that I have also a Grand prize of their contest which is Honda City IvTec and for claiming this I have to register a claiming ID for which I have to pay another Rs.19, 999. I refused to pay the same. After sometime Raghav again called me and said the same thing. I said you confirmed me that further no payment is to be made. He said sorry sir I don’t have this information and take Deepak, who is said to be the head of prize department, on conferencing. Deepak was scolding Raghav to convince me that you don’t know anything, now you have to solve this matter otherwise you will be fired. Somehow Deepak convinced me and then he confirmed me that no further payment is to be made by me and as soon as the payment is received by them, he will transfer Rs. 47, 500 on the spot. I made the payment again and then he said that a form is to submitted to the bank for making payment and today is Saturday so bank is closed for today. I will get full amount of Rs. 2, 48, 000 after deducting TDS on Monday till 11:00 AM. I believe on them as I have no other option. On Monday Nancy called me and said that I have to pay Rs. 60, 000 as security which is paid back to me with the prize money. I refused to pay the same and say to her to refund my Rs. 24, 998. She said it is not possible. Then Deepak called me try to convince me to make the payment. He took Nancy on conferencing to convince me. But I refused to pay and demand my money. But she said it is not possible. Then I said that I’ll make complaint then she said to Deepak “Inhe karne do jo karna hai, inhe jyada pata hai”. I have returned the products which they sent. These guys are only doing fraud. Numerous complaints are posted here against them. I want my money back. Please resolve this issue as early as possible otherwise I'll be going to sue them for cheating public. I have all the payments proof and all the recordings or their callers. Pulkit Rastogi
