[Resolved]  Snapdeal — No action on fraud transactions

Address:New Delhi, Delhi

There has been an unauthorized use of my debit card details online to make purchases worth over Rs 1 lakh on 30 May 2014. These purchases were made at various online websites including Amazon, Ebay, Flipkart and Snapdeal. I had informed all these online sellers on 30 May 2014 itself regarding the unauthorised transactions done with them and requested them to immediately cancel all these purchases. While other online sellers at least replied back to me on the same day and are taking necessary action, Snapdeal has been sleeping over my complaint so far. Had it taken immediate action to cancel orders made by unauthorised use of my debit card, I would have been able to get some of my hard earned money back. It is disgusting to see that a firm like Snapdeal has no proper mechanism to act swiftly in such cases.for the benefit of consumers

It has been more than 10 days and I have no idea what Snapdeal is doing. They do not even respond to my emails now.

I informed Snapdeal about the misuse of my debit card details on the day when this fraud happened. Amazon and Flipkart took immediate action to cancel unauthorised purchases. I even gave Snapdeal the name and shipment address of the person provided to me by Amazon. Snapdeal did not bother to pay any attention to my complaint. Now 10 days later .Snapdeal is telling me that the unauthorised orders paid for by my debit card have been delivered - at the same shipping address that I had given to them. From day 1 I have been telling Snapdeal to act swiftly to cancel the orders before they get delivered. Time was the crucial aspect in this case. Given the amount of time Snapdeal wasted in acting on my compliant, it was but obvious now that the orders would have been delivered.

What is frustrating is that Snapdeal could not do anything to reduce my damage. Had they acted immediately I could have saved money. There apologies cannot bring 'my money back. These times reveal the true image of a firm to consumers. And I am very sorry to say, I rate Snapdeal as the worst in terms of consumer satisfaction. Amazon and Flipkart have proven that they care for consumers and Snapdeal does not stand anywhere in front of them.
I am sure Snapdeal has no answer to my question that why it took them so long to take action in an important case of online fraud, especially when their competitors took swift action. Sending me apologies is not going to reduce my loss. You are liable for this loss and have to answer why it took you so long to act immediately. Snapdeal probably thinks that the loss of a small customer may not have any effect on your image in the market. But I can assure you that this matter is not going to end with me and will be brought to the notice of many other people. And after knowing the extent to which Snapdeal is capable of dealing with important customer problems issues, I do not have to tell you what impact it would have on your reputation. Now, whether your reputation is of concern to you or not is for you to decide.
Snapdeal owes me a reply for not acting on time.
I believe you are not worried about your reputation or probably have no explanation for your irresponsible attitude towards customers. I will take have to take legal action against Snapdeal and bring this matter to the notice of general public so that nobody else bears the brunt of your in competency the way I have had to.
Snapdeal is highly vulnerable to fraud customers using debit card details of other people. I lost Rs.24898/- by a transaction not done by me. I immediately alerted cyber cell, snapdeal, and the bank. Snapdeal could have immediately stopped the shipment but they did nothing. Shame on you snapdeal. But don't think it's over, I am going public with this issue, and won't rest until I bring your company down.
