Hello,
I have received an sms today morning from shopclues with the same id as they normally send smses that i have won 1st prize (Tata safari) in lucky draw contest of their 9th anniversary celebration. (Photos attached herewith)
After an hour or so i have received a phone call from no. [protected] confirming the same and i was given an option to choose between tata safari & an equivalent amount of cash. So obviously i choose cash.
Then i was told to deposit rs 2500/- in the company's bank a/c for registration.
Now i was sure this is a fraud call but still i asked them for valid bank a/c details in the name of shopclues and some proof.
So i was sent these bank a/c details on whatsapp:
Shopclues company pvt. Ltd.
A/c no. [protected]
Ifsc sbin0010539
State bank of india
For proof he sent me his company id, aadhaar card & pan card (Photos attached hehewith).
Then i checked it on google to verify, the very 1st result that showed up was www.shopcluesprize.in (A fraud site)
I am giving all these details so you could take steps to caution your customers against such fraudsters and even if possible track them down.
Regards
