Instyle Interiors — Fraud in exhibitions

We had booked a Diwan from Instyle Interiors on August 31, 2015 in an exhibition. We paid an advance of Rs. 10, 000/- at the exhibition and thereafter another advance of Rs. 15, 000/- handed over to Mr. Dinesh against Order No. IFS-032, Dated: August 31, 2015

There after we placed an order of refurbishing of 2 nos. of two seater sofas and a one seater sofa and then after a week placed another order of refurbishing of a two seater sofa.

We were promised that the delivery of Diwan & the first order of refurbishing will be made within 2 weeks.

They hardly answer our call and refuse to give us correct info on the progress.

They demanded to pay in full if we wanted the delivery. No firm / company demands for a 100% advance even before the goods have been delivered.

They demanded full payment for delivery, so we made the full and final payment on September 30, 2015. The same was handed over to Mr. Abdul, the same day.

Abdul had did not get the invoice when he came to collect the payment. We require an invoice to make the full & final payment as per our ERP. However as Rahul was apparently not available in office then, he promised me to mail the scanned copy of the invoice duly signed & stamped by the concerned person. The same was not done. Till date I have not received the invoice.

We informed Abdul the same day to deliver all the orders placed on October 01, 2015, to which he agreed.

On October 03, 2015, Saturday when I called Mr. Rahul, he said why didn’t you inform me, Abdul is just a collection boy.

I informed Rahul to deliver all the goods on October 03, 2015. However he said that he was not sure about Saturday but the committed me to deliver it on October 05, 2015.

We did not receive the delivery on October 05, 2015 as well, so me and my colleague visited their manufacturing unit as mentioned on their Order Form, in Vasai, Address: Unit No. 3, N.H. No. 8, Near Vasai Diva Rly Bridge, Naigaon East, Taluka Vasai, District Thane – 401 202. However when we reached there we came to know that they do not own that manufacturing unit, it is owned and operated by Sofa's & more.

The owners informed that they do not own or operate any manufacturing unit, they get it made from us and another small workshop in Jogeshwari East, owned by Altaf.

We called Rahul from there, he informed that the diwan is in the Jogeshwari East workshop. Before visiting the Vasai unit, we had called Altaf (as Rahul requested to follow up with him), he informed us that the Diwan is in Vasai unit.

Thereafter we visited the Jogeshwari unit, the diwan was still not ready.

They finally delivered the Diwan & the Sofas, however the work done was shabby.

We have not received the Invoice till date.

Their whole motive is to loot & cheat people.
