Hi, they are 100% FAKE. All the comments that say they are legit are comments by the same set of people using different accounts.
I had ordered a Sony PS5 (digital version) from this company called "GPR Digital" (Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/gprglobal/, website:
https://gpr.digital
) on 13 March 2021. I did an IMPS transaction using my HDFC account to a Bank of Baroda bank account. The company claims to be Russia-based and all the conversations between us and the company happened via Instagram. The person who was talking to us claimed that his name is Mossimo Todde.
After placing the order, I read reviews of their parent company (Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/allaboutiphonelive/
) online. Most reviews say that they never sent them the product and blocked them on Instagram after 30 days of placing the order. We also spoke to a guy who had ordered two AirPods Pro from the same website on 25 January 2021, did not receive his order, and was blocked on Instagram by the company on 24 February 2021.
After completing the transaction, we did not receive any confirmation of the order which made the whole thing very suspicious, and hence, we asked them to cancel the order and immediately filed an online complaint (https://cybercrime.gov.in/) on 18 March 2021.
We continuously asked the company to send us the order confirmation email but they kept delaying it. On March 18, we tried to track down the location of their Instagram account and found out that the Instagram account is being operated from Indore, India so we figured he has been lying about his identity, and probably the company doesn't even exist. We confronted him about this that probably scared him. On 19 March 2020, he sent us a confirmation email of the order and an email saying that they have canceled the order and initiated the refund.
We were relieved to know that we would get our money back but on 25 March 2020, the company texted us on Instagram saying that the Bank of Baroda account has been marked lien for an amount of Rs.26220 because we complained to HDFC, and hence they canceled our refund.
A few days after that they blocked us on Instagram. This proves they are 100% FAKE. We still haven't received the product or the refund. Right now, the amount is still marked lien in his bank account and we would definitely be able to get our money back.
If anyone wants to see the screenshots of the chats, feel free to write to me (email: [protected]@icloud.com).
Also, he/the fake company is capable of making fake chat screenshots as they threatened us by saying they would do it if don’t stop asking for refund.
Reasons:
All the posts they have on instagram say “the comments on this post have been limited”.
They stop replying to you after placing order.

Please don't fall into the trap and in case you have already paid the money, please complain to your bank and file an FIR as soon as possible.
