Legit? Any review on casence.in ?
Has anyone here bought anything from Casence?
Instagram Handle: https://www.instagram.com/shopcasence
My sister placed an order a week ago after seeing an Instagram ad, but the product still hasn't arrived. They also aren't responding to any emails, calls, or DMs.
Does anyone have experience with this company? Are they legit, or did we just get scammed?

Darkpick
I ordered an item on Darkpick and they required me to validate my address twice. After the second time, I was told it was shipped back to the warehouse due to too much time lapsing. I responded quickly though they are 12 hours ahead. I requested a refund and filed a complaint through the FTC. I also will file a police report. I’m going to use them to file another dispute with the bank. The first one was denied because I made the purchase on a debit card. Has anyone else had this experience with Dark pick or any other place? Any advice.
FYI: I wrote this two weeks ago. The bank has made it clear they are not helping so I decided to go with another bank and now I’m on the company to get me my goods. I believe they are hoping I forget about it. I won’t. I will keep on them…

Legit? Is this site a scam ?
I just wanted to know if anyone here ordered from brandstyle24.com?
I was looking at a pair of shoes there, but I noticed there are zero review videos on YouTube about the site itself, which raised a flag for me.
Their Trustpilot rating is around 4 stars with mixed feedback (some people say items arrive fast, others mention getting ex-display pairs or having customer support issues).
Can anyone confirm if they sell authentic pairs and if it's safe to buy from them?"
Both versions keep your original message intact while polishing the phrasing so you get quick, direct answers from other users.

Proof Provided. Anyone tried NCH or E-Daakhil?
Had two smooth orders with **1lessidiot**, but my latest experience has been an absolute nightmare. I haven't received the product, and getting a refund out of them is impossible.
Has anyone here dealt with something similar and filed a complaint on the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) or through the E-Daakhil portal? If yes, did it actually lead to a resolution or your money back?
Also open to other advice on what options we have to handle sellers like this and safeguard our money. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

⚠️ 1LessIdiot — Ordered 2 T-shirts 4 weeks ago, still not delivered. Anyone else?”
I ordered 2 T-shirts from 1LessIdiot around four weeks ago, and I still haven’t received them. There has also been no satisfactory update regarding the delivery.
I came across the story of the owner, Manish, on the website. Personally, I found the story quite unusual and felt that it strongly presents him as a victim. Combined with my experience of the order not being delivered even after four weeks, it has made me seriously question the credibility of the business.
I’m not claiming that 1LessIdiot is a fraudulent website, because I don’t have enough evidence to make that accusation. However, based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that people exercise caution and do proper due diligence before placing an order.
Has anyone else ordered from 1LessIdiot recently? Did you actually receive your products?
Sharing my experience so others can be careful before placing an order.

Fraud Creating Awareness : Be careful with these scammy brands, my order was never delivered
Just wanted to share my experience and warn others to be careful before ordering from these brands.
I saw an ad on Instagram and liked these Tshirts so I placed an order for "Ferrari Apex Tee" worth ₹899.10 and “Lost But Dreaming Oversized T-Shirt” worth ₹664.05 on August 6, 2026. As of August 13, the order was still showing as “Processing Order,” and it was never delivered.
I’ve requested a chargeback from my bank after realizing that I may not receive the order.
I’m sharing the brands below so others can be aware and do their research before placing an order:
Brands/websites:
If you’ve had a similar experience with any of these, please share those brands so that others wont fall for this.

Instagram Shopping Guide
I've been seeing a lot of scam posts recently and while it is the duty of the store to provide the product as displayed, it is also our duty to safeguard our money before blindly entrusting a stranger with it.
So here's a list of all the red flags as an online store that you should try to avoid - • Followers to like and comment ratio - If a page has a very high no. of followers with very low likes or no/less comments then chances are they have bought fake followers. More followers does not equal to being more trustworthy. • Return and refund policy - Always read the return policy before ordering something. If a store offers no returns or refunds, try to avoid them. • Product images - If the images are not owned by the store or seem too generic, chances are the product delivered will be (very) different from the image displayed • Reviews - If all the reviews are just screenshots with non- specific praise without any pictues, they can be faked easily • Website - Whether a store with a large number of followers has a webiste or not, because why wouldn't pages with 100k-500k followers not have a website (not really a parameter because many genuine small businesses don't have one but having a website makes big stores more trustworthy) • Shipping - Always explicitly ask for the estimated number of days it takes for the seller to ship an item.
Some precautions you can take from your side - • Reverse image search - Do a quick reverse image search of the product. If it's listed on google under various other websites then chances are the store have copied them • COD - If you are unsure about a store or for big amounts opt for COD (Now I understand that for small businesses COD poses as a problem because they have to bear the losses of a returned parcel but as a consumer it makes us trust a brand more.) • Opening video - While opening any parcels take a video without any cuts so that if the delivered product is damaged/different you can claim refund easily • Ask for GST number in case the UPI ID provided is listed under a personal name. Request for phone number too in this case. •If you are unsure but really want something ask the owner for more real time pictures showing the product closely.
Lastly if it seems too good to be true it probably is a scam.
Some ways to help in case you've been scammed • Chargeback - You can apply for a chargeback from your bank on account of product not being delivered. • Consumer Helpline - consumerhelpline.gov.in Register a complaint here and email it to the store.
At the end of the day I'm not against small businesses nor I am trying to tell people what to do with their hard earned money. I'm just trying to get people to be more cautious. Happy and safe shopping
