Fake Listings Exploit Customers with False Promises

Fake Listings Exploit Customers with False Promises

The rapid expansion of e-commerce has transformed consumer shopping habits, providing convenience and a vast selection of products. However, this growth has also led to a surge in fraudulent activities, with scammers preying on unsuspecting buyers. A recent case exposes the fraudulent practices of Milan Raut (8286511111) and his Aadhar number – 995318486264, who operates under the website https://www.milanoasia.co.in/ and claims to be based at WorkSpace: Kona, At-Kasghar Phata, Near-Bapuji Rice Mill, Tilsa Road, Wada, Maharashtra 421303. This case highlights the alarming rise of fake online listings and digital scams. 

A buyer recently fell victim to an online scam involving this so-called Milano company, which allegedly specializes in premium wooden items. The company presented itself as a trusted seller, displaying attractive product images and claiming to offer high-quality craftsmanship. After engaging with the seller, the buyer received a sample, reinforcing the illusion of authenticity. Convinced of the business’s credibility, the customer proceeded to make a full advance payment of INR 1 lakh.

However, after the payment was processed, the company became completely unresponsive. Emails, calls, and messages went unanswered, leaving the buyer in financial distress. Upon deeper investigation, it was revealed that the company has no actual factory, no real business presence, and relies solely on fake online listings to lure customers into fraudulent transactions.

Several reports of scams involving Milan Raut have been documented, and a comprehensive list of complaints can be found here: https://www.justdial.com/jdmart/Mumbai/Milano-Manpada-Thane-West/022PXX22-XX22-210501125057-R7M4_BZDET/catalogue#reviews.

This alarming incident underscores the growing prevalence of online scams and the urgent need for consumers to exercise caution when making purchases from unfamiliar sellers. 

To avoid falling victim to such frauds, consumers are advised to:

  • Verify Company Credentials: Cross-check the company’s physical address, GST number, and customer reviews across multiple platforms.
  • Avoid Full Advance Payments: Opt for partial payments or cash on delivery whenever possible.
  • Research Before Purchase: Conduct thorough background checks by looking for any red flags such as negative reviews, missing contact details, or inconsistencies in product descriptions.

Report Fraudulent Listings: If you encounter a suspicious seller, report them to consumer protection agencies, social media platforms, and relevant e-commerce regulatory bodies.
