Hi everyone, I got scammed yesterday and wanted to share what happened—hoping someone can guide me on what steps to take next.
I received an SMS in the morning from Blue Dart, saying a shipment was out for delivery. I wasn't expecting anything, and before I could even check what it was about, the package arrived. The delivery person asked for payment—very unusual, since I almost never opt for Cash on Delivery.
My mind has been foggy lately, so I assumed I must have ordered something and forgotten. Instead of paying cash, I used GPay, just so I’d have a record of the transaction.
Later, I emailed Blue Dart to ask about the sender, because by then it was clear something was off.
They responded with the sender’s name: FIXFEELS TECHNOLOGIES PVT. LTD — which confirmed my suspicion that it was a scam.
I’m not really concerned about the ₹699 I paid for a completely useless product (a generic face pack tube with no branding or ingredients mentioned, and clearly worth far less than what I paid).
My main concern is: could my bank account or UPI be compromised because I used GPay? I tried to report the issue on GPay, but the only option it gave me was to block my account. I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do at this point.
Also, I’m puzzled — what’s the scammer’s endgame here? Spending on Blue Dart shipping just to scam someone out of ₹700 doesn’t seem cost-effective. What could they possibly be after? Personal data? UPI metadata?
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
The exact same just happened with me what could be the motive money is not for sure for 700₹.
Is this something you haven't placed an order for? And did you end up making a payment? What product did you receive?
Heard of similar scam some 15 odd years ago in small scale.
Scammers with help from some courier people, will send worthless package for reasonable money. If they accept the package and give money, it's profit for them, if not just change the address and try again.
But at those times no much knowledge to reach courier company to get details of sender. Also blue dart seems to be costly to send, not sure if it's really a scam.
Agree. It is either a genuine error or BlueDart themselves are involved in some way. Hopefully the former and the current transaction is restricted to just this🤞
I just came across your post, and I can totally understand how frustrating and concerning this must be. I work at Fship, and while the platform handle the shipping side of businesses, it don’t have control over what products the sellers are actually sending out. The platform is focused on facilitating the delivery process, getting your order from point A to point B, but we don’t have control over the specific items being shipped.
That said, we’re aware that fraudulent orders can sometimes slip through, and we do take it seriously. I’m happy to help figure out what can be done from our side. Please feel free to reach out to me at support@fship.in with "GRVN IB" in the subject, and I’ll make sure the team follows up to see what steps we can take.
