Dear Sir - This is to bring to your attention that I paid INR 64000 to the merchant called http://mobilicitystore.com/ through payumoney. I was told that I would be given additional 10% cash back if I pay the money through the card and I've had to release the money upfront. I was sent an email that my products will be delivered before 18th August 2016. I was talking to a person from the merchant side who named himself as Manish Dhanuka(8961356987). I could speak with him still yesterday and he went on saying that it would be delivered yesterday. Today onwards he is not receiving my calls and as per payumoney as I did release the fund so they can't assure me of the delivery or refund. Looks like I've been cheated here and I lodge this as a cyber fraud case.

Address of the merchant :

Mobilicity Store
Head Office: Phoeniz Marketcity, Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg,
Kamani, Ashok Nagar, Kurla, Mumbai - 400070, Maharashtra

Here are steps that one needs to take as an alert/ enlightened consumer, if there is issue with the product…

1. You need to immediately write to the seller and the company- Customer Service Manager of both mobilicitystore.com and PayUMoney, as platform provider, giving background and asking for delivery of the product or refund of your money along with interest.

2. Also mention failing to get either, you will approach the Consumer Forum for compensation of the amount paid and also for the suffering faced due to non-delivery of the product as promised and in attending the complaint as advised by Consumer Protection Organisation.

3. Wait for a reply for 15 days after which send a reminder. Again, after 15 days from the reminder letter, send a final notice. If there is still no reply after 15 days from sending the final notice, you can then take up your case before the District Consumer Forum of your area. The points of defence for you in this case should be the seller failed to deliver goods purchased as per its promise and there was a violation of promises on product delivery.

4. This point you can mention in your complaint to Consumer Forum, which will direct the Seller to either delivery the product or refund your money with cost for mental torture.

5. Important point, you must have all the relevant documents, like order receipt, payment made by you and the correspondence you had, before approaching the Consumer Forum.

6. Also try using social media networks like Twitter, Facebook to raise your voice. Usually complaints on social media sites are heard and resolved by the companies at a fast speed.
