ED Uncovers Money Laundering via Kirana Stores Using Illegal Betting Apps

Journalist

I was in Mumbai this weekend and I was having street food in Ghatkopar. I heard someone whispering but ignored. When I turned around I saw three people, 2 guys and 1 girl. I continued enjoying my food when I saw that the girl behind me had left and dropped some money. I walked up to her and told her about it.

I bent down to pick it up when the other two guys bumped into me. I think they were cloning my card all this while, I will explain why I think that. I asked them if something was wrong and they said No and went away. 

I checked today morning and 16,731 were deducted at some weird merchant in USA. I was confused, so I instantly blocked all my cards. I have contacted the bank about this fraud as well. 

I am confused: I did not do any transaction on any website that looked shady nor did I give my details out to anyone. The only thing that explains this is that they cloned my credit card and this was their strategy. How to comfirm this? Please help.

A resident of Bengaluru nearly fell prey to a scam. In a post on Reddit, the individual reported that the scammer pretended to be a Flipkart delivery agent and attempted to deliver a sealed box, asserting that it held the iPhone 15 he had supposedly ordered.

🛺 Rare sighting in Bangalore | Achievement Unlocked

I'm currently in my notice period as I didn't feel like this was the right place for me, so I quit without a plan.

Yesterday, while traveling through Uber, the driver told me about how he nearly got killed. He has two kids in Kolkata, and he's in Bangalore without the money to get his car fixed.

I don't know what got into me, but I handed over 5k bucks to him. I usually don't bet, but I placed a wager on the India vs. SA match and made 50k after betting 30k.

Last night, during a La Liga match, I went again and went yolo on Real. Despite them getting a red card and scoring in the 92nd minute, it was an absolute miracle.
Making me another 30k

I think it is God paying it forward :)

If you've read this far, thanks, and here's a gentle reminder to pay it forward.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

We always doubt some. For me it was Zepto, never thought I’d see them here. But they’ve really managed to grow while Swiggy and Blinkit were around. 

Which other startups have surprised you by becoming big, despite all odds? Or despite not seeming like big opportunities for you?

Which Indian Startup/product has surprised you with how big it became?

- Where is the "weather" everyone boasted about? I have fcking melted!

- Saw YT influencer Beyounick, he saw me, thought would come for a picture. I didn’t 🤭 

- Got Ola from Airport to Richmond at 319! Yay?
No, the driver missed the stop 3 times, so had to walk till hotel. 

- Saw a hot rich guy in a swanky car, with windows rolled down?!! Switch on the AC man!

- On the back of car "Money is like Dettol, solves 99.9% problems" 😅😅

Also, I have list of food recommendations which will take 3 lives to finish.
Suggest something for dinner near Richmond. No Biryani for today though

Bengaluru has started on a dull note 😮‍💨

- Flipkart aims to have around 100 dark stores operational by the launch of Flipkart Minutes, currently accessible to select users in certain pincodes.
- The move is part of Flipkart’s strategy to compete with Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart this festive season, focusing on fast delivery for non-grocery segments.
- Dark stores are being tested with employees at Flipkart’s Bengaluru headquarters, with plans to stabilize and scale up the service in specific areas.
- Flipkart’s quick commerce push is driven by revenue potential, with top platforms like Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and Blinkit expected to surpass $1 Bn in revenue for FY24.
- This development follows Flipkart’s expansion into digital payments and fintech products, highlighting its strategy to adapt to the evolving digital commerce landscape.

Flipkart Plans 100 Dark Stores Ahead of Big Billion Days Sale

I was at a friends place and it suddenly started raining heavily. I had to reach my girlfriends place ASAP. She was already very angry that I was not spending enough time with her. The problem was that I was not getting any auto on Uber or Rapido.

I stopped an auto and asked it for a ride. He quoted Rs 800 for a 4km ride. I was like, "Are you crazy?" 
I somehow negotiated it down to Rs. 500. But it made me wonder why is this city like this.

Like everyone is trying to scam you. Every one is a grifter, from your landlord to auto wallahs to the cops.

Have you faced such things in this city?

Why do people take advantage of you in Bangalore?

Between January and June this year, Lakshmipati is suspected to have stolen nearly five lakh gift vouchers and redeemed them to buy Rs 4.16 crore worth of bullion and other valuables on Amazon and Flipkart, according to police. 

Dude could have quit when he was ahead but greed is a terrible thing.

Recently i found  in Flipkart that they have extra exchange value on some specific smartphone. I have a nokia c3 phone which has an exchange value of 1750 Rs. Some smartphone has high discount. Is they any way to find the smartphone which provide extra exchange off through search filters.
