Times Of India — hypermart online 50% discount fraud

Address:	Ahmedabad, Gujarat, 380060
Website:	Hyperkart.com

This is with reference to an advertisement that was published in times of india on 10th of september 2017 by hyper cat wherein it was mentioned that there is flat 50% discount on any grocery item purchased from the application referred in the advertisement, by using a promo code.

Based on such advertisement in the newspaper, i placed an order on 10th of september 2017 for an amount of rupees 5202 in which i was offered a flat 50% discount of rupees 2601 and the balance of rs. 2601 was to be paid. Since there was not cash on delivery option available, i had to make the payment through my credit card which was duly paid by me and the order was placed.

Subsequently, when the order was not delivered at my residence within the expected delivery time period, i inquired with the contact information available in the application which included a phone number and also the companies email id.

I dropped email id to the company regarding the status of my order but did not get any revert from the company. I even tried to contact the phone number but the call never got connected and the line was always busy.

Subsequently i tried to search online whether any other customer has suffered the similar issue and found out that it was not only me but there were several other customers which were defrauded by such a scheme which was openly distributed with one full page advertisement in the times of india. Such offer was exclusively available in few cities only in gujarat which included ahmedabad surat rajkot etc.

Immediately on coming aware of such of such an issue i contacted the customer care of sbi bank and told them to stop the transaction so that the money is not transferred to the merchants bank account, vide my telephonic conversation on 27th september 2017, but was informed that the amount has already been transferred to the merchant account and now it could not be cancelled.

I was told to drop a mail to you wherein i can get the expected results from you.

Please help me get back my money against which nothing has been delivered to me till now nor i expect that the same would be delivered.
