Distributorship Scam Se Kaise Bache: Red Flags Checklist

"Badi brand ki dealership sirf registration fee bhar kar" — aise messages aur fake websites se har saal bahut log paise gawaa dete hain. Is checklist se aap pehchan sakte ho ki distributorship offer asli hai ya scam, aur paise bhejne se pehle kya verify karna hai.

Scam Kaise Hota Hai?

Aam taur par scammer ek badi brand ke naam se milti-julti website ya social media page banata hai. Wahan "dealership apply" form hota hai. Form bharne ke baad call aata hai, aur phir registration fee, NOC charge, security deposit, agreement charge jaise naamon se baar-baar paise maange jaate hain. Na koi maal aata hai, na dealership.

10 Red Flags

1. Website ka domain alag hai: brand ka naam hai par domain me extra shabd, spelling ka farak ya ajeeb extension.
2. Personal bank account ya UPI me payment: asli company ke naam ka current account nahi.
3. Bina meeting ke "approval": na area visit, na interview, seedha approval letter.
4. Baar-baar naye charges: ek fee ke baad doosri, phir teesri.
5. Jaldbaazi: "aaj hi pay kijiye warna area kisi aur ko de denge".
6. Bahut zyada munafe ka vaada: guaranteed income ya bina mehnat ka profit.
7. Sirf WhatsApp/phone par baat: official email ya office address nahi.
8. Agreement me company ka saaf naam, address aur GST nahi
9. Letter par logo blur ya design kharab
10. Office visit ki baat par taalna

Paise Bhejne Se Pehle Ye Verify Kariye

• Company ki official website khud search karke kholiye, link par click karke nahi
• Website par diye official customer care number par call karke poochiye ki ye offer asli hai ya nahi
• Company ka GST number GST portal par check kariye — naam aur address match hona chahiye
• Company ke registered office ya regional office visit kariye
• Payment sirf company ke naam wale current account me, aur likhit agreement ke baad

Agar Scam Ho Jaaye To Kya Karein?

1. Turant apne bank ko inform kariye
2. National cyber crime helpline 1930 par call kariye ya cybercrime.gov.in par complaint kariye
3. Saare screenshots, payment receipts aur chat sambhal kar rakhiye
4. Asli company ko bhi inform kariye
