EParivahan.Online - Scam Organisation
Scam Organisation - Be Careful of the Website, they go camouflaged under an identical name eparivahan.online, , while the actual government site is parivahan.gov.in.
I had registered for a learner license on the 19th Jan, 2021 and received a confirmation that the details would be shared with an online date for the test within 3 days, but didnt receive any confirmation until 9 days.
When finally someone called on the 9th Day, they mentioned that they are proceeding to fix a slot for the learners test and generated an OTP. When asked why are they asking for an OTP, but a lady (by name Pooja, sure this must be a fraud name too, as their organisation) mentioned that the OTP is necessary to fix the slot. When I told them that the RBI regulates sharing of any OTPs to anyone, including banks, she continued to argue and said that without the OTP, they will not be able to proceed with the slot booking. When I further argued that I will not share the OTP and if they should insist to proceed only with the OTP, then the transaction be cancelled and the amount refunded, the agent outrightly refused to refund the amount for it was, I who choose to opt out. When I informed that I will take this with the consumer court, then I was informed that they will refund the amount minus Rs.1000 out of the Rs.1500 that was paid, which is way too exhorbitant for any cancellation penalty. On arguing further and when I told them that I need the full amount, they threw the blame on me saying, that you you should have seen this all this information on their website. I dont think any website mentions that they will seek for OTP's on a call, unless it is passed thru a secured payment gateway.
This company is a HUGE FRAUD ORGANISATION and I would like this to be listed, so no other consumers are misled or embezzled. I will also appreciate, if someone can take this up seriously with the organisation and get my amount back at the earliest.
Lastly, I would insist or request any govt/cybercrime official to have this website blacklisted or blocked IMMEDIATELY, for they are operating under an identical name used by the government itself, which misleads consumers.
