There is a new scam in which an advertisement appears on Instagram social media sites, which offers quality BoAt (audio equipment manufacturing company) Truly Wireless (TWS) Bluetooth earphones with a heavily discounted price of INR 285 for all their earphones. On clicking that advertisement, it redirects you to this site (boatnirvana.co.in or boatnirvana.com) which are not links to official website of BoAt company. This website has a timer countdown which shows that the Rs 285 all earphones deal is available for a limited time only, thus tricking the users into hurrying up and buying the product. They accept all modes of payment including cards and UPI, making it easy for people to pay pay on..(boatnirvana.co.in) has been removed, and there is no mark of the product being shipped. ,I got some help from this site. I am attaching the screenshot of my payment and verification

Very shameful to reveal but I just lost over 1.4k Rs due to this boat scam(Not to blame the company in any way). The scam was orchestrated by a website called gadget-audio.com , which has been shutdown. The ticking timer really hit my nerves and made me buys gifts for my family members desperately.
