Advisory against frauds

Beware of fake websites, SMS’s, messages on WhatsApp, facebook posts & pages, calls and emails from unknown people under the name and style of Snapdeal

Purpose

It has come to our attention that certain scamsters make fictitious offers (eg. “You have won car/cash prize/electronics etc.) through various means (fake websites, SMS’s, WhatsApp messages, Facebook posts, calls, and even emails) so as to defraud the customers by inducing them to pay some money immediately before the “offer” or “prize” expires. These payments are sought to be made in cash or into bank accounts controlled by the scamsters and are misappropriated by the scamsters who then abscond with the same.
