I have been scammed out of $150. I know that i am not getting that money back; I just want to warn others. I can afford to lose that money but other potential victims might be in a worse financial situation.
I suffer from a chronic disease and found some meds at a good price on India Mart from a so called verified seller. I know the dangers of buying meds online, but when you are uninsured and the price of these meds are sky high, it clouds your judgement.
I placed an order from a seller listed on India Mart. The sellers name is Venkat Pharma LTD (https://www.indiamart.com/company/77548253/ and I placed an order for Arthritis Medication to be delivered to my current address in South East Asia. After making a western union payment ( to an individual in India) I was contacted with the so called courier company (http://www.globalworlddelivery.com) with a tracking number. Over the next few days i checked on their website and saw my parcel move from country to country. After a few days the status showed on hold in vietnam. I was then contacted by the courier asking for more money for the parcel to be released. I believe there was never any product. The seller from India Mart (Venkat Pharma LTD) is the same person operating the so called courier website (Global World Delivery).
I am still in communication with the fake courier. Like I said, not looking to get my money back, just need to warn others. Any ideas what else I should do?
Thank you for your help.
