[Resolved] Homeshop18 — customer details shared externally or homeshop18 is hacked | |
My first purchase in homeshop 18. I entered my details in homeshop 18 app and bought a night suit (I actually received a nighty, however thats not my complaint). Saturday 16th september morning i receive a call from a person calling from homeshop 18 noida office ([protected]), saying you are the lucky winner of a car worth 12 lakhs and to redeem it in cash he asked for bank account details. It was clear that it was a fake/spam call hence i disconnected immediately. Now my concern is he knew all the details mentioned in homeshop18, my name, number, where i stay etc. This is a serious security concern where either homeshop18 has shared all my details to external parties or homeshop18 is hacked and all its customer details are out there and getting used by unethical spammers to loot them. I was well aware of such calls and hence got away unhurt, but if it was someone else he/she could have lost all his/her money because of this sheer negligence from homeshop18. I am going to lodge a fir against homeshop18, but before that i wanted to hear from the legal team of homeshop18 if they have to say anything on this or maybe you are already aware and just don't care of your customer details. This was my first purchase in homeshop18, where i have received a wrong product, i do not see any return option in homeshop18 app and the price in the invoice i received on delivery shows 297 after taxes, where as i paid 349 after 52 discount (Free shipping). So obviously after my first and worst experience i will never shop again and will recommend everyone to stay away from homeshop18. They are making money by selling their customer details. Was this information helpful? | |
Oct 25, 2017 Complaint marked as Resolved HomeShop18 customer support has been notified about the posted complaint. Verified Support Sep 18, 2017 HomeShop18 Customer Care's response Dear Customer, Regret the inconvenience caused!. We are equally surprised and dismayed at how these calls or emails contain your Order details. We would request you not to fall prey to any fictitious offers / lottery winnings or Promotions through letters, e-mails, phone calls and SMSs etc. We would like to assure you that Homeshop18 does not share any personal or account related information identifying a customer, with any person/s or agencies. Homeshop18 never asks customers to deposit money into any account and if TDS has to be paid it only needs to be paid into Company’s official account. If you faced these issues on calls, you may lodge an FIR either with the Police or Cyber cell. Regards, HomeShop18 | |
