Times Of India — hypermarket kart-a fraud site

Address:560001

I was added items for rs.5005 and applied coupon mentioned in the newspaper ad for hypermarket kart-an app-grocery store. The final amount was 2503 and tried to checkout. There is options for google and facebook account along with normal registration process. While firstly i tried with facebook account, another page opened where again the credentials needs to be entered. This is when i became suspicious and stopped checking through facebook and registered through signing up the site. It did not happen very easily. App is very slow and after several times of effort registration was comepleted and one message came to my registered phone number with a single line of welcome note.
Though i have given mail id also, no mail received.
As the site activity is not normal, i prefered to choose for cod but there is not cod option.
Full amount needs to be paid and this is when i searched in google and flooded with lots of complaints already registered against the site.
I have checked the app in playstore once more and lots of grievances already posted there, too.
No doubt, this is a fraud site and already they have cheated many people.
Before posting an ad to a very popular newspaper, which is having customer in many thousands, times of india must have scrutinized the authorization of the ad-giver.

It's really bad that reputed newspaper TOI advertised such a fake website. We should bring this to Consumer Court notice. They should be punished legally.
Hypermarketkart founders should answer to their customers immediately. Placing fake advertisement continuously for two weeks is not good. I have been cheated twice from Hypermarketkart all because of fake advertisementI. people don't believe this website. Completely fraud.

There was a full front page ad on times of india and deccan herald about this website and its offer. I lost a lot of money. I cannot believe such reputed newspapers will sell their front page ads to such fakes! Shame on them!!!

Dear Friends,

I am PG from Ahmedabad. I am also one of the victim of hyper market. I purchased around 9000/- and paid 4500/- as per their scheme 50 % off. I trust TOI due that only I download the App and made purchase. We all have been cheated. I think so we should complain against Hypermarket. I am not happy with TOI as well they have broke the trust of their reader.

We can lodge complaints against reputed TOI and other newspapers on http://gama.gov.in/ for publishing misleading advertisements, thereby the people getting duped because of trust on the newspaper.

People who have paid from credit card can talk to credit card customer care, i blocked my card and raised transaction dispute so the transaction was not settled and saved my money. Net banking payments i am not sure.
hi

for everyone who paid using a credit card, there is an option to get your money back which is to raise a dispute with the card issuer. I paid using my hdfc credit card and after raising the dispute, i got my money credited back today.

if anyone needs help about how to file a dispute or getting a run around from your bank and need some help, feel free to call on [protected]
Hi, does this hold even for debit card payment?
