For the past few months, Amazon consistently delivering defected items to my place. I ordered smartphone few months back, they kept pushing the date further. Finally they cancelled it. It happened thrice with me. I tried to call the customer care, they assured but nothing happened. Again they cancelled it. For other items, they kept delivering late after 10 PM. I was sick and tired of all this. Ultimately, I realised you have to pay them extra for better services. After becoming their Prime member, their services improved. How many of you agree that this is a scam?

Titan
I bought a Titan edge in Jan 2015 worth RS 16,000/-. It had a warranty for 2 years. In September 2017 the watch stopped. I thought may be the battery has drained out.
Went to Titan world, Park Street, Kolkata. They took it, they said they will check but since it's beyond warranty so I have to pay. I was ok with it.
After a week received a SMS saying please collect your watch at your convenience. I went again . To my surprise, I was told that the watch is irreparable. I was shocked. Just within two years without any physical damage how can a award winning technology of edge just become irreparable?
The service centre informed that company can take the watch back since it is just out of warranty but would provide me a Titan coupon of 50% of the buy value.
I insisted I want to repair. Now the service centre told me if I don't take the offer now they won't even provide me any coupon in future. So it's now or never.
I asked them to write in the bill that the watch is not repairable. But they denied to do so. I asked them to show me the company policy of 50 % , that also they couldn't provide.
I requested to talk to the manager. After listening to the situation he took back the watch and asked the service person to check once again and didn't hand it back to me, nor he gave to me anything in writing.
The scam here is the service centre will take back the watch and provide a 50% coupon with which you have to buy another titan watch within 3 months.
Your watch may have only got a battery to replace, so that will be replaced and put up for a sale on full value. They won't give you in writing that the watch is not repairable since they very well know it is not true.
It's the latest scam trending in Titan to improve the sale at the cost of customers.
Is this the Tata value and code of ethics?
Edit on 07.10.2017 (after almost 1 and half month of putting the watch for servicing)
Today after many a calls to customer care and threatening to approach the consumer forum got back my watch after a month.
It has been repaired and working fine. The cost for repair is INR 1650. Now you can understand pretty well why they refused to provide a documentary evidence that the watch is irreparable.
Infact if I would have taken the offer of 50% coupon I would have lost straight away 8K.
事實上,如果我接受了50%的優(yōu)惠券,我將直接損失8000印度盧比。

Movie Theatre scam
I had gone to watch IT movie with my friends in PVR Cinemas. I had checked on BookMyShow application that the movie tickets were priced at Rs. 90 and seats were available so I decided to buy the tickets directly in the theater instead of spending extra money for online booking.
When I reached PVR Cinemas, the tickets seller told me that the cheapest tickets were priced at Rs. 190 . I told her that I had checked the price on BookMyShow which was for Rs. 90 . She didn't listen to me. Moreover I couldn't book from BookMyShow as the window closes 1 hr before movie starts.
I had to give a treat to my friends so I was forced to buy 3 tickets for twice the original price. Then she gave me 3 coupons of Rs. 100 each for popcorn and Pepsi. I realized that she had tricked me and all the other customers to buy the combo offer tickets though we did not want it.
I tried complaining about her to the officials around but they wouldn't listen to me. This is one of biggest scam that I have encountered.

Last month I had to go to Delhi and I took a train.
上個月我去德里,乘坐了火車。
I reached New Delhi railway station and when I came out of the station I saw like 8–10 women all of them would be 30 plus. One of them approached me and attached a tricolor near my chest. You must have seen those paper tricolor which we get for RS 1 that we pin to our shirt on independence day. I thought wow, so this is how they welcome someone in Delhi with a tricolor. I was a fool to think so. I realised that soon after she asked for money. The lady asked me to give some amount for charity. She said that the money is for some NGO which runs an orphanage. I asked her to show me any document but she had none. I refused to pay and started walking away. She came running behind me and said, “Jhanda to dekar jao” (Give the tricolor back). Lol.
我到達新德里火車站后出站時看到 8-10 名女性,她們年齡都在 30 歲以上。其中一個走過來,給我胸前別了一面三色旗。你可能見過那種售價1盧比的紙質(zhì)三色旗,我們在獨立日時會別在衣服上。我以為,哇,原來這是德里的歡迎方式。結(jié)果我太天真了。不久之后她開始向我索要錢。那位女士讓我給一些錢做慈善,她說這筆錢是給某個開辦孤兒院的非政府組織的。我。我要求她出示任何證明文件,但她沒有。我拒絕給錢,開始離開。她追在我后面說:“Jhanda to dekar jao”(把三色旗還給我)。哈哈。
After that I stood there for sometime to watch those women. All of them were well spoken. They knew good English. I saw many of the people giving money to them. They were giving like 50 to 100. Many of them gave more than 100 RS. If they approached 10 people, at least 3–4 people gave them the money. This is in just 5–6 minutes.
It's a big scam I think. They just loot people by playing with their emotions. Many of us give the money to someone thinking that it's for a good cause but we don't know how the money is really gonna be used.
Next time when you are at New Delhi railway station beware of them.
Thanks for reading.

Today I was visiting my bank for some work and as I parked my Bike, a fellow comes up and says ?5/- for parking here. I visit the bank almost 3–4 times a week and never have I encountered any such thing. Also the space is well within the bank premises away from the public road,hence there couldn't be any way municipal corporation would authorise collecting the fee here.
So, I asked whether he had municipal permission to collect the fee and he showed his receipt which had the Municipal corporation name printed and with this he kept forcing to either pay the fee or remove the vehicle.
As the argument heated up people began enquiring what had happened and started threatening him to call the bank manager. Hearing this, he started making excuses and let me park there.Later, When I came out of the bank, he was gone.
So the scam here is that these people get some slips printed and stand near some crowded place. And as soon as they find their “Bakra” they start asking him for parking fee.

Tanishq Showroom!
Why?
I bought Gold bangles for my mom for about Rs 1,44,234.00. The design was okayish and the Gold was top notch, I mean equivalent to 916 Hallmark Jewellery. (Tanishq never use hallmark sign on their jewellery). My mom used it for like 2 years or so, and she wished to changes it. I said fine.
We went to Tanishq yesterday, 22ct Gold Jewellery price was about Rs 3003 per gram, as per them. No problem. They showed us the design, we didn’t like any one of them this time. I asked for refund and thought to buy it from another 916 hallmark jewellery showroom. They said, If you will take cash, we are afraid we have to give you from the price of Rs 2890. I asked wtf? Why? They said, it’s our policy, if someone take cash, we reduce the Gold value.
For the same set of 22ct Gold, the rate they told me, now clearly trying to scam us with the lesser rate. I mean why? I asked for their manager but no use.
Then I went to a nearest another showroom, th checked my bangles and offered us to buy it at 2990 INR. If u say the bangles was about 43 grams, they were scamming us for about 5000 INR.
I request everyone here, don’t go for Tanishq to buy jewellery from your hard earned money. They are just scammers, with making charges roofing 600–900 per grams. The local showrooms are much better at designs, making charges, flexibility and customisation.
Tanishq U lost a loyal customer yesterday. Thank you!

SECURITY DEPOSIT SCAM - Work From Home: You will apply for a job, and you will receive an email stating that you have been shortlisted for the job. However, before you are given the project, you will be asked, no, forced, to pay a Security Deposit, and if you refuse, they will begin cursing you. If you pay, they will vanish after the payment.
CINEMA THEATRE POPCORN SCAM: Everything was OK till roughly 80/- for cinema tickets and 40/- for popcorn. But what do we call it when popcorn costs $250/- and tickets cost 120/-?
JIO SCAM: Began with free sim cards and lower top-up prices and grew to be a 'Dominant Company' within 5 years, abusing customers and deceiving our Competition Act.
SKINCARE CLINIC SCAM: They will ADVERTISE that the skin treatments begin at 999/- or even less. You believe and go for a consultation, where you will be given lectures about your skin and treatments that will help you fix it, and they will reveal that they never charge by session and only offer a package; a customer must attend at least 8 sessions to receive treatment. And, the package starts at 1 LAKH RUPEE, So, before attending to a consultation, question them loud and clear: DO YOU HAVE SESSION WISE PAYMENT OR NOT?
PARLOUR SCAM: You'll ask for something, but they'll give you something that you think is better than what you asked for, until you get home and find it's all the same. BASIC, ADVANCED, and REGULAR are all the same, but they try to convince you that the BASIC will have little effect. Next time, question them, "IF SO, THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR SERVICE BOOKLET?"
WORKPLACE SCAM: They call you for an interview and rejects without any reason. Happened? This is the method followed by big corporates to keep their name ‘ON TRACK’. Even though manpower is not required, they call for interviews and waste your precious time and money. Before going for an interview, ask them politely, ‘IS IT A GENUINE INTERVIEW OR NOT?” and…………………………………….When top-tier management only becomes familiar with those who race down the corridor with a file in their hand, they give them a rise rather than those who perform their job quietly and are told, 'I don't know your name or asks you, do you work in this office?' NEXT TIME, SLAP THEM WITH "OH I JUST FORGOT!" YOU ONLY REMEMBER THOSE WHO APPEAR TO BE WORKING, NOT THOSE WHO ACTUALLY WORK!"

Common scams in India include online frauds like phishing, fake job offers, and fraudulent e-commerce sites, as well as telecom scams where callers pose as bank officials to steal personal information. Investment scams, including Ponzi schemes, promise high returns but lead to losses. Real estate scams involve selling disputed properties, while lottery scams trick victims into paying fees to claim fake prizes. Job scams often require upfront payments for non-existent jobs. Staying vigilant and skeptical is crucial to avoiding these traps.

I bought a Titan edge in Jan 2015 worth RS 16,000/-. It had a warranty for 2 years. In September 2017 the watch stopped. I thought may be the battery has drained out.
Went to Titan world, Park Street, Kolkata. They took it, they said they will check but since it's beyond warranty so I have to pay. I was ok with it.
我在2015年1月購買了一只Titan Edge手表,價值16,000盧比。它有2年的保修期。到2017年9月時,手表停了。我以為可能是電池耗盡了。 我去了Titan World,位于加爾各答Park Street。他們收了手表,說會檢查,但由于超出了保修期,我需要付費。我對此沒有異議。
The service centre informed that company can take the watch back since it is just out of warranty but would provide me a Titan coupon of 50% of the buy value.
一周后,我收到了短信,告知可以在方便時取回手表。我再次去到服務中心。令我驚訝的是,他們告訴我手表無法修復。我很震驚。僅僅兩年沒有任何物理損壞,獲獎的Edge技術(shù)怎么會變得無法修復?
服務中心告知我,雖然手表超出了保修期,但公司可以回收手表,并提供一張價值50%購買價的Titan優(yōu)惠券。
I asked them to write in the bill that the watch is not repairable. But they denied to do so. I asked them to show me the company policy of 50 % , that also they couldn't provide.
我堅持要求維修?,F(xiàn)在服務中心告訴我,如果我不立即接受這個優(yōu)惠,他們將來甚至不會再提供任何優(yōu)惠券。所以這是現(xiàn)在或者永遠沒有機會。
我要求他們在賬單上寫明手表無法修復。但他們拒絕這樣做。我還要求他們出示公司的50%優(yōu)惠政策,但他們也不能提供。
The scam here is the service centre will take back the watch and provide a 50% coupon with which you have to buy another titan watch within 3 months.
我要求與經(jīng)理談話。在了解情況后,經(jīng)理收回了手表,并要求服務人員再次檢查,并沒有把手表還給我,也沒有給我任何書面證明。
這里的騙局是,服務中心會收回手表,并提供一張50%的優(yōu)惠券,憑此券你必須在3個月內(nèi)購買另一只Titan手表。
It's the latest scam trending in Titan to improve the sale at the cost of customers.
你的手表可能只是需要更換電池,因此會被更換電池后以全價出售。他們不會給你書面證明手表無法修復,因為他們非常清楚這不是真的。這是Titan最新的騙局,目的是在犧牲客戶的利益的情況下提升銷售。

這就是Tata的價值觀和道德規(guī)范嗎?
2017 年 10 月 7 日編輯(將手表送去維修近一個半月后)
今天在多次致電客服并威脅要尋求消費者論壇后,我終于在一個月后拿回了手表。手表已經(jīng)修復并正常工作。維修費用為1650印度盧比。現(xiàn)在你可以清楚地理解為什么他們拒絕提供手表無法修復的書面證據(jù)。
Infact if I would have taken the offer of 50% coupon I would have lost straight away 8K.
事實上,如果我接受了50%的優(yōu)惠券,我將直接損失8000印度盧比。
Movie Theatre scam
I had gone to watch IT movie with my friends in PVR Cinemas. I had checked on BookMyShow application that the movie tickets were priced at Rs. 90 and seats were available so I decided to buy the tickets directly in the theater instead of spending extra money for online booking.
電影院騙局
我和朋友去PVR電影院看《IT》這部電影。我在BookMyShow應用上查看了電影票的價格,發(fā)現(xiàn)票價為90盧比,而且還有空位,于是決定直接在電影院買票,以避免在線預訂的額外費用。
當我到達PVR電影院時,售票員告訴我,最便宜的票價是190盧比。我告訴她我在BookMyShow上查看的票價是90盧比,但她不聽我的。此外,我無法通過BookMyShow預訂,因為窗口在電影開始前1小時關(guān)閉。
I tried complaining about her to the officials around but they wouldn't listen to me. This is one of biggest scam that I have encountered.
由于我需要請朋友們吃飯,我被迫以兩倍的原價購買了3張票。然后她給了我3張每張100盧比的爆米花和可樂優(yōu)惠券。我意識到她騙了我和其他顧客,強迫我們購買了我們不想要的套餐票。我試圖向附近的工作人員投訴,但他們不愿意聽。這是我遇到過的最大的騙局之一。
Last month I had to go to Delhi and I took a train.
上個月我去德里,乘坐了火車。
我到達新德里火車站后出站時看到 8-10 名女性,她們年齡都在 30 歲以上。其中一個走過來,給我胸前別了一面三色旗。你可能見過那種售價1盧比的紙質(zhì)三色旗,我們在獨立日時會別在衣服上。我以為,哇,原來這是德里的歡迎方式。結(jié)果我太天真了。不久之后她開始向我索要錢。那位女士讓我給一些錢做慈善,她說這筆錢是給某個開辦孤兒院的非政府組織的。我。我要求她出示任何證明文件,但她沒有。我拒絕給錢,開始離開。她追在我后面說:“Jhanda to dekar jao”(把三色旗還給我)。哈哈。
之后我站在那兒觀察了一會兒,發(fā)現(xiàn)那些女人都很會說話,英語也很好。我看到很多人給她們錢,有的人給了50到100盧比,有些人甚至給了100盧比以上。如果她們接觸了10個人,至少有3到4個人給了錢。這僅僅發(fā)生在5到6分鐘內(nèi)。
Next time when you are at New Delhi railway station beware of them.
Thanks for reading.
我認為這是一個大騙局。她們通過玩弄人們的情感來掠奪錢財。我們中的許多人把錢捐給別人,以為是為了一個好的目的,但我們不知道這些錢到底會用在什么地方。
下次你在新德里火車站時,注意她們。感謝你的閱讀。
Today I was visiting my bank for some work and as I parked my Bike, a fellow comes up and says ?5/- for parking here.

今天我去銀行辦事,當我停放自行車時,一個人走過來告訴我在這里停車要收 5 盧比。
我?guī)缀趺恐苋ャy行3到4次,從未遇到過這種情況。而且那個地方在銀行內(nèi),遠離公共道路,因此市政部門不可能授權(quán)在這里收取停車費。
所以,我問他是否有市政許可收取費用,他出示了他的收據(jù),上面印著市政公司的名字,他不斷地強迫要么支付費用,要么把車開走。
So the scam here is that these people get some slips printed and stand near some crowded place. And as soon as they find their “Bakra” they start asking him for parking fee.
隨著爭論愈演愈烈,人們開始詢問發(fā)生了什么事,并開始威脅他打電話給銀行經(jīng)理。聽了這話,他開始找借口讓我把車停在那里。后來,當我從銀行出來時,他已經(jīng)不見了。
所以這里的騙局是,這些人把一些紙條印出來,站在擁擠的地方附近。一旦他們找到他們的"Bakra"他們就開始向他要停車費。

Tanishq 珠寶店!
為什么?
我為媽媽購買了一對金手鐲,價格大約 1,44,234.00 盧比。設計還可以,金質(zhì)一流,相當于916純度的珠寶。(Tanishq 從不在他們的珠寶上使用純度標志)。我媽媽戴了大約兩年后想要更換,我說沒問題。
For the same set of 22ct Gold, the rate they told me, now clearly trying to scam us with the lesser rate. I mean why? I asked for their manager but no use.
昨天我們?nèi)チ?Tanishq,按照他們的說法,22ct 黃金珠寶的價格約為每克 3003 盧比。
沒問題。他們給我們看了設計,但這次我們沒有喜歡的。我要求退款,打算去另一家916純度的珠寶店購買。他們說,如果你要現(xiàn)金退款,恐怕我們不得不從 2890 盧比的價格給你。我問這是什么情況?他們說這是他們的政策,如果接受現(xiàn)金,我們會減少黃金的價值。對于同一套 22ct 黃金,他們告訴我的價格,現(xiàn)在顯然是在試圖用更低的價格欺騙我們。我是說為什么?我問過他們的經(jīng)理,但沒用。

I request everyone here, don’t go for Tanishq to buy jewellery from your hard earned money. They are just scammers, with making charges roofing 600–900 per grams. The local showrooms are much better at designs, making charges, flexibility and customisation.
Tanishq U lost a loyal customer yesterday. Thank you!
然后我去了最近的另一家珠寶店,他們檢查了我的手鐲并提出以 2990 盧比的價格購買。
如果你說手鐲大約43克,他們就是在詐騙我們大約5000 盧比。我在這里請求大家,不要用辛苦賺來的錢去 Tanishq 購買珠寶。他們只是騙子,制作費用高達每克600–900盧比。當?shù)氐闹閷毜暝谠O計、制作費用、靈活性和定制方面都更好。Tanishq,你們昨天失去了一個忠實客戶。謝謝!

保證金詐騙- 在家工作: 你申請了一個工作崗位,然后會收到一封郵件,告訴你你已經(jīng)入圍了這個職位。然而,在你獲得項目之前,他們會要求您(不,是強迫您)支付保證金,如果您拒絕,他們會開始咒罵您。如果您付款,他們會在付款后消失。
電影院爆米花騙局: 一切正常時,電影票大約是80元,爆米花大約是40元。但當爆米花的價格是250元,電影票的價格是120元時,這是什么呢?
JIO 詐騙:一開始提供免費 SIM 卡和較低的充值價格,在 5 年內(nèi)成長為一家“主導公司”,在此過程中濫用客戶,并欺騙我們的《競爭法》。
護膚診所詐騙: 他們會廣告宣傳皮膚治療的起始價格為999元或更低。你相信了并去參加咨詢,結(jié)果你會聽到關(guān)于皮膚和治療的講解,他們會透露他們從不按單次收費,只提供套餐;客戶必須至少參加8次才能接受治療。而且,套餐的起始價格為10萬元。所以,在參加咨詢之前,要大聲明確地問他們:你們是否提供單次付款選項?
美容院騙局: 你要求做某項服務,但他們會給你一些你認為更好的東西,直到你回家才發(fā)現(xiàn)其實都是一樣的。基礎版、高級版和普通版都是一樣的,但他們試圖說服你,基礎版不會有什么效果。下次請問他們:“如果是這樣,那你為什么把它寫在你的服務手冊里?”

職場騙局: 他們會約你面試,然后無緣無故地拒絕你。這種做法被大型企業(yè)用來保持他們的名聲‘在線’。即使不需要人力資源,他們也會安排面試,浪費你的時間和金錢。在面試之前,禮貌地問他們:“這是一個真實的面試嗎?” 然后……當高層管理人員只熟悉那些手里拿著文件在走廊里跑來跑去的人時,他們就會給這些人加薪,而不是給那些默默工作、被告知“我不知道你的名字,或者問你,你在這間辦公室工作嗎?”下次,對他們說:“哦,我忘了!”你只記得那些看起來在工作的人,而不是那些真正在工作的人!”
