[Resolved]  Limeroad — fake lucky draw calls offering tata safari

Website: www.limeroad.com

I got this call from [protected]. The guy said he was from limeroad. He said that i have won tata safari worth rs 1400000 and either i can take this car or the entire amount will be credited to my account. He mentioned all the details of my current order to sound believable.

I was too doubtful. I asked to give him a call back after sometime.in a meanwhile, i checked google and found such calls are frequent with other online portals sites. And those guys use the same car's name (Not very smart). Also, there is no mention of any lucky draw on limeroad.

Checked true caller as well. The guy was from ranchi as he said and when i verified, there is no limeroad office in ranchi. This may be the doing of one of their delivery boys.

Immediately blocked him. But i was not expecting this from limeroad. There should be some stringent measures in place to avoid this. Limeroad has earned quite a good name but such calls can put anyone in doubt.

Sir as I had not logged in to the limeroad account while ordering the product, now I am not able to see the product in cart.
Please tell me the details if this is the case
I got a call from [[protected]]. The guy said he was from limeroad. He said that i have won tata Indica worth Rs 6, 25, 000 and either i can take this car or the entire amount will be credited to my account. He mentioned all the details of my current order.

I understood that this was a fake call, but the main problem here is that he has all my address details and unaware what more details are available with him.

Why is Limeroad not taking action on how people are fetching customers information from their database.

I had checked on true caller as well. The guy was from Bihar.

This is completely unsafe for customers like us, as personal informations are fetched by adhoc people.
Limeroad may loose customer base as such incidents will refrain people from actually shop from their website on the cost of meddlesome of personal information.

I got a call from a guy claiming he is from Limeroad and said that I've received a Car as a gift from my previous order. I knew it's a fraud yet i asked for details, he sent me link, I entered my number and all my details were available over there...my address, my number, product details.
What kind of privacy do Limeroad maintains? All my details was with this unknow person and this does not end here...Same guy again calls me a day after and asked ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND, I ignored it and blocked his number yet I got the call again from a different number and THAT GUY LITERALLY GAVE ME RAPE THREATS. I've filed the complaint.
I request Limeroad to please give attention to this issue! This is not done at any cost, customer privacy must be your main preference!

One more thread has been received by me today. My question is how come they have all our details. If you are pretending that they might be some courier guy but still how he would have each and every detail of ours.
There are some security and privacy issue in the system or it is intentionally doing keeping fraud in mind. The system are not safe at all. I would urge you to keep this investigated at very high priority as selling or sharing customer information is absolutely punishable offence. Will surely knock the Court to pull you all in.
