Flipkart's Big Billion Day Sale seems to have landed in soup, with many people accusing the e-commerce platform of running a ‘scam'.
#FlipkartScam was trending on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with users complaining that their orders were cancelled at the last minute.
The e-commerce giant is offering massive price drops on several products ranging from smartphones to laptops during the festive sale that started on Sept. 27. However, users claimed that the company was not delivering the product despite confirming the orders initially.
Why Is The Flipkart Scam Trending?
Multiple X users have alleged that Flipkart is cancelling the orders placed during the Big Billion Day Sale without any prior communication. Sharing posts on the #FlipkartScam, people called out the company for ‘fooling' customers.
“#flipkartscam, This scam won't stop until we raise our voice against them. In DMs, they just say that the stock is not available. Then why did you take orders and money? Look at the SS and Video. How many orders did Flipkart cancel?” a user complained on X.
