[Resolved] Homeshop18 — personal details shared with fraudster

Manjesh G N

from Kolkata, West Bengal

Address:

560068

I received call from sonu kumar [protected] stating i won a car / 12, 80, 000 and i should pay service charges 5500 to their manager's account number, not company's account. Looked fishy.

My question is that how did this fraudster got my details - phone #, address, product purchased and the amount paid?

There is someone either at homeshop18 or courier company who delivered has shared this information to this fraudster.
The courier co. Aramex surface

HomeShop18 Customer Care's response Hi Mahesh,

We regret the inconvenience caused to you. 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.

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
