On 9th oct 2020, I receive an sms with a link that said I won a safari storm in the lucky draw of snap deal. I used the link and it confirmed my winning and showed my details of name,and address and phone number.It seemed very legit.I checked and was convinced it may be true.
I was asked to pay4200 to register and claim prize on the same day.I did to a bank account number belonging to snap deal Pvt ltd and an ifsc code too.
I used the information to make the payment.then started the vague suspicion.tds,cgst, sgst amounts were asked to be paid.I did till I ran out of funds.
They shared whatsapp number, aadhar card,ID card all indicating it belonged to alok Kumar, office address was parshedpur u.p
The whatsapp number is still active.
I have a gut feeling I have been duped.Lodging this complaint to get a redressal
