Only Umratia
Then the era of reels is going on. From small kids to elders are crazy about reels. And why not, everyone is getting the entertainment of their choice in reels. That too within 30 seconds to 1 minute. Although reels are no longer limited to entertainment, they have also become an important marketing tool. From small shopkeepers to big companies are marketing on reels. You will also be watching all such reels, which are also proving to be effective. However, there is a saying in Hindi that 'gaon basa nahi aur lootere a gaye'. Something like this is happening. Cyber crooks are using the popularity of reels to scam people. Before we talk about it read about these two events… 1) Navratri is approaching which means reels advertising Avnavi Chaniyacholi are also coming. A sister saw a similar reel with a 50% discount and placed an order. I clicked on the buy now option in the reels itself, so I made a payment of 2500 rupees on the website that opened. Although the account on which the order was placed was fake, the Website was also fake. It was too late to know. 2) One of the grooms fell in love with Shervani on the reels. So immediately he messaged that Instagram account and asked for the price. The price came only 3100 rupees. The groom was happy and gave the order. QR code for payment came. Payment done. Asked for name-address, gave that too. Although it has been three months, Sherwani has not yet arrived. The account on which the order was placed was fake. Alas, the reel that was Sherwani's was also someone else's and had already been posted. The address given of the shop is also fake. So now if you like something after watching the reel, then keep some things in mind before buying. Look at the oil and see the edge of the oil and then buy. If you are a little hasty or missed, understand that it is lime. So keep this in mind…
Confirm Address Most of the people who sell goods through Reels have their shop or office address in their profile. So before buying, search that address on google map. If it is a genuine business then you will find that address on google map as well.
Check whether there is cash on delivery or not In this era of e-commerce, almost every shopping website offers the option of COD i.e. cash on delivery. So if you click on Buy Now option after seeing the reels and a website opens, first of all check whether it has cash on delivery option or not. If not, stop buying. So still some websites do not offer cash on delivery, but it happens very rarely. Why should we take the risk?
Check Comments Check the comments section of any reel before placing an order. Mostly in the comments you will get reviews and guesses whether the account is real or fake. Even if the comments are closed, it is better to stay away from it. It will be beneficial.
Even if it is cheaper than the limit, stay away. As the saying goes, where there are greedy people, thieves do not starve. This is what happens in most frauds. People get greedy for cheap and lose money. People don't use even a little common sense. Now you think that how can someone give a sherwani which costs 12,000 rupees in the market for 3100 rupees? Who can afford to give chaniyacholi which is available for 8000 rupees for 2500? So remember that if it is cheaper than the limit or if there is a big discount, then stay away from it.
Keep buying the brand item from the official site Many times it happens that people create fake account to lime and post on it by taking reels or photos from anywhere. The price is kept arbitrary, because they have something to offer. So, if the name of that brand or company is written on the reel or photo, go to its official handle and website and confirm. Also, as far as possible, keep buying branded items from the official Site.
