Today I saw the greatest cheating website of all times, Paytm.com, they even do it bluntly by advertising in national papers like toi, etc.
My brother called me after seeing the add in the news papers, about the cash back offers on Paytm for electronics, I visited the site, as wanted to buy 3 Tb Hard disk drives, UPS and a tablet.
they have a unique way for cheating customers. you can see the 50% off offer on the product listings, but when you click on the actual product page, you cannot find a promocode to apply for the cash back and this was not only for the hard disk but all the products that shows 50% off on their website. every one of them.
Have attached a pic to prove this. Check the 2 tb WD black with the 50% discount offer in the product listings and then check the product page that does not have the promocode of 50% off cashback to apply.
And this happens in all categories, that has a 50% off tag on it. I thought that it would be applied on the checkout page, but to my disappointment that did not happen.
Now I called up the call centre and they clearly stated that they will not give any cash back unless an offer code is applied. so I refrained from ordering that.
Next I tried to order the 3 TB WD Red that had a 2000k off offer, that also had a promocode And the offer is also applied when selected. The real cheating, Fraud or whatever you wish to name it, started now.
When I tried to order with the offer, the error message came that this seller does not deliver to your address, and I stay in Mumbai, I was alarmed who the hell does not deliver goods to Mumbai. I tried again with another seller, and entered my pin code and it showed available, but again on the checkout page got the same error message. There was something fishy about this.
Realized that whenever you apply the offer code the error message comes that the seller does not ship at the address, and when you remove all the offer you can proceed with the offer and the seller has no issues to ship then, this is the height of cheating a consumer. They ask us to try after few days that is after the offer is over:) they are mocking the consumers.
I have attached all the pics as a proof if anyone is even a little skeptical of my claims. Could attach only 2 pics so have attached for the first scenario. anyone wants proof for the second scenario can give me their email address for pics.
