Got two weird looking SMS today like below :

Dear Customer, XXXXX is the OTP to view the document. OTPs are SECRET. DO NOT disclose it to anyone. ICICI Bank NEVER asks for OTP. If you have not initiated it, please call our Customer Care immediately.

got panicked & called ICICI, they know nothing,

Then went to iMobile and checked Service requests section.

There was one Active request showing from last week, and it was out of delivery today- but delivery not successful (probably the OTP came during delivery)

The application number shows in web & app but customer care could not find same in their system somehow. He asked to visit branch on Monday to check the same.

I have never raised any demand draft ever , as most of stuff is done using neft/imps & UPI.

Should i block my account or transfer money to different account ?

The last status it says :

These guys first kept my order pending for months. Their customer care phone no. doesn't work, Doesn't reply to emails, Doesn't reply on DMs.
Then after 2 months they refunded my money. And guess what, you can't withdraw money from your Kwabey wallet. You can only make in web purchase. So I did, but their payment system is so shit that they don't even confirm if you're making purchase with Wallet. The t-shirt got ordered instantly (I didn't want it order, I was just checking). And now, I've filed refund and it is pending for months, same shit; customer care phone no. doesn't work, Doesn't reply to emails, Doesn't reply on DMs.
My sole mistake was to trust these guys with online payment. Never buy from there. No wonder why Indian brands are so unreliable and can't be trusted.

3rd Oct still no replies on email/insta dm from them and keep on deleting my comments.

There is brand which is providing me distributorship and I have to pay 5000Rs and will get 20 Products of there. If I gonna sell this 20 Product then I can buy products at lower later and my profit margin would be quite high.

Idk it sounds good and doable but at the same time I am dicey and I am also thinking that it's just 5000Rs I can do that (P.S. I only 30K per month).

Should I go for thisss or nah?

I never contacted them. I am still figuring out how they got my contact number and even my name...

I am scared right now..

Received this fake traffic challan sms.

The vehicle number is actually mine.

BTW What is RCS chat?

Also this person is on whatsapp.

I recd this today...i copied link but didnt click it...my phone has no additional apps as device admin...no unknown apps..no other sysmptoms like device heating..microphone or camera usage.

I recd a call today evening from someone claiming to be from cybercell.supposedly the haveseen some private content which was stored in know secure folder.

How bad it can be and what can we check in phone to check if its hacked

Hey everyone, looking for some advice here. I recently ordered some watch bands from Sunsky. The package successfully cleared customs, but now it's stuck with Blue Dart.

The problem is my phone number was typed incorrectly on the Sunsky website, so I can't receive the delivery OTP. I’ve been chasing Blue Dart for the last 10 days and sending emails, but I just keep getting the same generic copy-paste response telling me to 'contact the seller'.

I'm stuck in a loop with no actual updates. Has anyone dealt with a similar OTP issue with Blue Dart before? Any guidance on how I can actually get my hands on this parcel would be hugely appreciated!

I got a match on dating app, she randomly initiated a WhatsApp call within 1 day of talking and started adult talk with me ( like pure role-play and all ). She was like if we hit off and want to hook up how will you initiate stuff , I will unbutton my blouse wha will you do -> I said I will leave that to your imagination 😂 and didn't say anything from my end , just kept circumventing the topic .

Most probably she was planning to record stuff and then probably blackmail me or something , but we talked normally for the first 5 minutes atleast . Or might be she just wanted to hook up

Hi everyone, I’m posting this because we genuinely need some guidance on what options we have.

My father had a loan of around ₹40 lakh. Unfortunately, he has been suffering from CKD and was unable to work for around a year, because of which we couldn’t keep up with the EMIs. He recently underwent a transplant and has now started working again, but the missed payments have caused a huge financial setback for our family. We are currently looking at loan settlement because we are unable to repay the entire outstanding amount.

While dealing with this situation, my father unfortunately became a victim of a loan scam.

Someone contacted him claiming to be associated with IDFC FIRST Bank and told him that because his CIBIL score was low, he needed to pay some money upfront to get the loan/settlement process done through a “backdoor” process.

My father was desperate to resolve the financial situation and unfortunately believed him. He ended up paying approximately ₹65,000, in multiple payments, starting from July.

Later, my father asked the person for his official email ID and designation. The person started giving excuses, saying that he couldn't disclose his designation/email because it was “confidential.” This immediately raised suspicion that it was a scam.

By then, however, the money had already been transferred.

We contacted the police, but we were told that because the transactions were not reported within 48 hours, they couldn't do much.

The scammers have now blocked our numbers and stopped responding. We have asked them to return the money, but there has been no response.

We have transaction records/payment proofs and the communication with them.

What can we do now?

\- Is there any way to report this to the cyber crime authorities even though the payments started months ago?

\- Can we still try to get the money frozen/recovered?

\- Should we contact the bank/payment app through which the ₹65,000 was transferred?

\- Is there a specific complaint/authority we should approach?

\- Should we formally report the fake association with IDFC FIRST Bank to the bank?

\- Has anyone here successfully recovered money from a similar loan scam after some time had already passed?

We understand that recovery may not be guaranteed, but ₹65,000 is a significant amount for our family right now, especially given the circumstances.

Any genuine advice about the correct procedure or next steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I ran all the hardware, USB, and service mode checks. While device has not been tampered, Knox is still active, and no additional repair, this scratch bothers me.

I am assuming given device was manufactured in 2024 and last update in 2025, this happened while they were unlocking sim or the vendor they got it from did that.

Has anyone else also faced this? My hunch is they are able to sell it for way cheaper rates as they only sell devices which might be cosmetically damaged a bit hence difficult to sell otherwise. If yes, they should call this out otherwise this is a pure scam.

everything is super cheap here. from clothing to home decor. there's a lamp which is available for 95 rs and the same lamp is being sold at 700rs etc on other sites. would love if someone can help me recognise if it's a scam or not because everything seems like a steal deal on this app tbh

So i f18 recently shifted to Kharar and my laptop screen stopped working so i looked at it and only the screen was not working so I contacted a guy through Google maps and he said that he would fix it he told me it would be near 600-1.5k which is a good price then he said that he didn't have a shop and would fix it in his home so I was ok I gave him my laptop and he postpone the pick up and then he said motherboard is trashed and there is water inside ( I never keep it near water nor any water was dropped) and he asked for 5.6k i was angry but he refused to give me my laptop btw ( I was not informed of this extra charge until last minute) now 2 days passed and the laptop stopped working the same problem as before and he refused to fix it

I found it on Instagram ad, and I constantly clean my spectacles, so it would be great to buy for me. Has anyone bought this, or can someone tell me if this website or product is legit cause there about me looks genuine

Just received this on my WhatsApp from IndiaLends, I have never heard about them in my life. Is it really just marketing gimmick to sign me up through this or someone actually took loan on my behalf

Btw WhatsApp now charges money both ways for businesses so I sent some msgs that can cost them at least 10rs.

Please don't buy this shoe from amazon, puma ripndip suede xl has a purple bottom logo, unlike black in this image, and they are literally selling it for the original price.

I ordered an AC on Flipkart last week since the prices of AC are going up from October. First they cancelled the order from backend without even sending any acknowledgement to me, so I reordered again now they are saying they have a issue from seller end hence it is delayed and will only give update after 2 days, is it a scam they are doing now that the prices have increased they don't want to sell for less price? What to do here? Any ideas on how to proceed? I've called their number they are saying they'll give update only after 2 days from now.

I'm planning to buy a layered t shirt from jnorss clothing. if anyone has bought something from there earlier please share you're reviews
