A brief look into the complaint
Mr. Prabhakar purchased a “Lyf Water 7” mobile phone from Flipkart on 26th May 2018 at 6:05 pm. The mobile phone was successfully delivered at his address but a few months later the phone showed some technical issues. Mr. Chaturvedi got worried when his mobile phone completely stopped working. He went to the nearest service center and found that the mobile set which was delivered to him by Flipkart was a second handset. Our client was upset with this fact that when he paid for a brand new phone why he received a used one. Neither Lyf nor Flipkart provided any solution to our client to resolve this problem. So he came to our consumer complaint forum to file a complaint against Flipkart. Mr. Chaturvedi did not want to lose his hard earned money to any kind of frauds so he came to us to find a resolution for him regarding this issue.

Be alert all the time while shopping online.
There are many ways through which online fraud can take place, but an alert mind can always help a consumer to stay protected against fraud. At times the mobile phones sold online are refurbished and the seller mentions it but in a such a way that the buyer’s eyes skip this little detail. So a consumer must read everything about the product before purchasing it. Most of the times the websites are genuine but some of the products displayed on them by the manufacturers are fraud. That is why while shopping online one should always read every point mentioned in the product description.
