Fake Big Basket Shopping Scam in Hyderabad: Beware

A Hyderabad man lost Rs 1.97 lakh in a fake online grocery scam. Online shopping makes life easier, but it also brings serious risks. One small mistake can empty your bank account before you even realise it.

A 36-year-old resident of Yousufguda thought he was ordering groceries from the official Big Basket website. But the site was fake. After placing the order, he received a call from someone posing as customer support. The caller said there was a payment issue and told him to download an app to fix it.
