I am Priyanka Gupta, An Online Shopping Website i.e www.styleloby.com has done a fraud of Rs. 51,494 with me on the name of the promotional contest:- www.styleloby.com/REC2016/ by stating me that I was nominated for the first prize i.e Renault Kwid Car, which they later confirmed through email,They told me that they'll repay whole of the amount paid by me under this contest by sending me product's of the same value but of their own choice, They informed me that I'll have to click the link on their website as and which they'll tell me to, but receive products which they'll verify on verification call, They also informed me that I'll receive a user ID and password for this purpose,
They first asked for Rs.1500 for registration for which they said they'll send me A Noise GT08 smartwatch,but originally sent me a W88 smartwatch of much lower value,then asked for Rs.20000 for the purpose of showing fake shopping of Rs. 100000, for which they'll send me 30 cent diamonds, Micromax Canvas Unite 4 plus smartphone,& MI power bank, which till date they haven't sent me.& Then asked for Rs.30000 for the purpose of taxation of the Car for which they'll send me Gold and Pearl pendent set of approximately Rs. 20000,Sony W800 camera, Bingo fitness bandand a smartwatch as a compensation for sending me wrong watch previously, but originally sent me Gold set of worth approximately Rs.5000 which I have confirmed from jewelers and Fitness Band of unknown brand,sony camera & smartwatch,Whatever they sent me was also not the half of the amount I have paid, still they haven't send me product's of Rs. 20000,No information of car, no user id & password yet given to me,
After several complaints which I did through emails and calls they didn't take any remedial action,instead told me to wait which I did,but still no action is taken. But as a proof I have recorded most of the phone conversations which I have with them,screenshots of all emils communication,and an unboxing vedio of the products I have received from the company,
People from www.styleloby.com who contacted me were Miss Nitika Gupta, Miss Supriya Bhargav, Miss Monika, Miss Akansha Tripathi.
They are doing such fraudulent activities to many people I have also taken screenshot of the complaint made by people against them, I choose this platform to inform people about this companies fraudulent activities and to appeal for help.

After going through your question I opened http://www.styleloby.com/ on my computer, but it says under construction.

You are required to right away send them a legal notice, at the address of the company or at the e-mail address from where you have received the e-mail.

Even after the same if they fail to respond then you can lodge a complaint against them at the police station and at the cyber cell wherein they can track the IP address and get hold of these people.

Regards

Let me know if I can be of further help.

Please send them a legal notice in this matter, asking them to clear the dues they owe to you. Also seek compensatin and damages, for loss caused to you and the mental torture caused to you.

If the notice fails to help, file a consumer case in the Dict. Consumer Forum.

1. You fell in a trap due to your naivety. It does not require rocket science to figure out such a patent trap.

2. Now go to the nearest police station to file a complaint for the offences of criminal breach of trust and cheating under Sections 406 and 420 IPC along with the documents available with you. If you have the address of the website then also send a lawyer's notice to demand the return of your money with compensation.

Dear Concerned,

This falls under online fraud and please go ahead and file a criminal complaint for cheating and fraud. This would be filed at the cyber cell of the local police. No need to go to consumer court / forum. In a criminal case you will get quick results.

Best of luck

You find out their address and issue a legal notice venting out your grievances and demand reliefs for the fraudulent activities they done against you.

After not getting a roper response or no response at all, you may drag the company to the consumer court within your jurisdiction seeking relief, remedy and compensation for the mental agony too.

Sir, what do I need to do to file a complaint in the consumer forum and if you can please inform me with the cost of filing the complaint.

The litigation cost and the lawyer's fee can be enquired locally because consumer court case are state subject.
