So I decided to order some clothes and this is how I got scammed I really need help.

About a week before 20th Feb, I found a site on Instagram with the name swipe luxury. So I saw a few clothes and contacted them on WhatsApp where I found the company name is Mahaveer Enterprises. Once I selected the clothes on the site I added them to the cart and after entering details it led to their contact on WhatsApp. I thought that was just wrong but after constantly asking they assured me saying their products are real and of great quality. I paid the amount on WhatsApp itself and then on the site it said order cancelled. But I got messages from shiprocket saying order is placed and will be delivered by 25th. Since Sunday they haven’t replied to any message I made, today the order arrived and it just not what I ordered. I’m down Rs.2860 for two items and I was scammed. I’ve sent multiple messages hours ago saying they need to give me a refund and product should be returned. No reply yet. I logged into the Consumer service site but couldn’t find the help I was looking for, or I couldn’t enter everything correctly maybe. I need to make a move soon, what do I do?

Instagram pages should not be trusted.

The signs are visible! If you just check how they have limited their comments section.

Never ever trust a website that does not have its own payment gateway. Payment through WhatsApp? Huh? That’s the most noticeable red flag.
