SINCE THE SITE DOES NOT CATEGORIZE THIS KIND OF TOPIC, I HAVE JUST CHOSEN SOME PRODUCT. PLEASE PARDON ME.
TO GO IN FOR SOME CATEGORY. THIS REVIEW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "GIFTS AND ACCESSORIES" BUT TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC IN CHENNAI WHO ARE DUPED EASILY BY SOME BOGUS COMPANY OFFERING YOU FREE GIFT OF SOME 5 ITEMS RELATED TO KITCHEN AND HEALTH KITS AND WILL ASK YOU TO COUGH UP SOME RS, 700 APPROX TOWARDS THE "SUPPOSED" WARRANTY OF THE PRODUCTS FOR ONE YEAR AND DELIVERY CHARGES. THE MODUS IS AS BELOW:-
YOU WILL GET A CALL FROM SOME MOBILE NO. TO YOUR LANDLINE NO. WITH A NEWS THAT YOUR NUMBER HAS HIT A LOTTERY OF FREE GIFTS OFFERED BY THE "COMPANY". ONE YOU SHOW YOUR ANXIETY, YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO CONTACT ANOTHER MOBILE NUMBER, WHO WILL DETAIL YOU MORE OF THE "GIFT", THE CALLER WOULD SAY.
WHEN YOU CALL THE MOBILE NUMBER(NO WHERE YOU WILL GET TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY NOR ITS LANDLINE NUMBER FOR YOU TO CHECK) THE CALLED PERSON WILL SAY "THOUGH THE GIFTS ARE FREE, WE ARE TO TAKE CARE OF 1 YEAR WARRANTY BY VISITS TO YOUR PLACE AND ALSO YOU ARE TO PAY FOR THE DELIVERY CHARGES OF THE GIFT WORTH RS.4 OR RS.5K. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR ADDRESS SO THAT OUR EXECUTIVE WILL DELIVER THE FREE GIFTS TO WHOM YOU ARE TO HANDOVER RS.700 BY CASH.
AS A COMMON MAN, I INITIALLY AGREED TO THE DEAL. LATER ON, WHEN I REALLY FOUND OUT THE REAL COST OF THE ITEMS OF GIFTS, ALL THE 5 PUT TOGETHER, WOULD NOT COST MORE THAN RS.500. THUS THE FRUDULENT COMPANY OR SOME GANG OPERATING LIKE THIS, SPREAD THEIR DRAG NET AND CATCH GULLIBLE PUBLIC AND MAKE A HANDSOME PROFIT OF MORE THAN 30%, VERY PROFITABLE VENTURE.
HAVING REALISED, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SECOND NUMBER AND QUESTIONED THE PERSON FROM VARIOUS ANGLES, IRKED BY THE QUESTIONS, PAT CAME THE REPLY: DONT TALK TOO MUCH, IF YOU WANT YOU AVAIL OF THE GIFTS OFFER OR JUST LEAVE IT". DURING THE CONVERSATION, I WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE OTHER PERSON, WHO CALLED ME FIRST TIME, TALKING TO SOME ONE " YOU HAVE HIT A FREE GIFT OFFER, BASED ON, YOUR LANDLINE NUMBER. TO CLAIM THE FREE GIFT, PLEASE CALL ., TO ASCERTAIN FURTHER DETAILS’. THIS SHOWS MANY HAVE BEEN CONTACTED THROUGH LANDLINE TODAY AND AS THE "THE WINNER: THROUGH LOTTERY.
IN ORDER THAN MY CHENNAI PUBLIC GET TO KNOW OF THE ABOVE FRAUD, I DARE TO MENTION THE MOBILE NUMBERS AS BELOW:
1.THE CALL YOU RECEIVEWILL BE FROM 9445406128
- THE CALL YOU ARE ASKED TO MAKE TO: 9566097113.
PLEASE FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE DO NOT GET LURED BY SUCH FRAUDESTERS AND LOSE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.
MAY GOD BLESS GULLIBLE PUBLIC.
I WISH SOME ONE TAKE THIS TO THE PRESS IN ENGLISH AND LOCAL LANGUAGE SO THAT THESE KINDS OF FRAUD AND THE FRAUDULENT PEOPLE GET EXPOSED.
