[Resolved]  ShopClues.com — sharing of personal information to scammers

I would like to make everyone aware of a scam from online shopping portal shopclues.com.

When you make a purchase here, shopclues seems to be sharing buyers' personal information such as phone numbers to scammers. After two days or so, you'll receive a text message from scammers who claim that you've won a car or something and you need to deposit a certain amount in order to claim your prize. When you call back to these scammers asking how they got the number, they'll use "maa behen" slangs on you.

When you complain this to shopclues, they'll say that they've informed their concerned team, but one Google search (shopclues personal information scam) shows that the scam has been going on for many years and these people are doing nothing about it; they seem to be involved too.

Take a look at the screenshots.
