Hi Team,
I am writing to report a serious case of unauthorized access to my Flipkart account and fraudulent use of my HDFC credit card.
On
16 September 2026, at approximately 2:00 AM, my Flipkart account appears to have been hacked/compromised. An unauthorized order was placed for a
Vivo V70 FE (Monsoon Blue 2026, 256 GB) using my HDFC credit card. At the time, I was asleep and had not placed or authorized this order.
The order was scheduled for delivery on
17 September 2026. Around
11:00 AM, I received an "Out for Delivery" notification and immediately realized that I had not placed the order. I then contacted HDFC Bank's customer care and blocked my credit card to prevent any further unauthorized transactions.
I also contacted Flipkart Customer Care at approximately
9:30 AM on 17 September 2026 and clearly explained that my account had been compromised and that the order was fraudulent. I requested that the order be cancelled immediately. I was also informed by Flipkart that my account had indeed been hacked/compromised.
Despite being informed about the fraudulent transaction, the order was not cancelled. Furthermore, the "Out for Delivery" notification provided the delivery person's contact number and delivery PIN. I attempted to contact the delivery person, but unfortunately, my calls were not answered.
I am extremely concerned about how an unauthorized order could be placed at approximately 2:00 AM, charged to my credit card, and then proceed to delivery even after I reported the incident to Flipkart. This raises serious concerns regarding the handling of fraudulent transactions and the security measures in place to protect customers.
I therefore request Flipkart to
urgently investigate this incident and take the following actions:
- Investigate how my Flipkart account was compromised and how the unauthorized order was placed.
- Investigate why the order was not cancelled immediately after I reported the fraud.
- Trace and recover the device using the IMEI number associated with the phone.
- Investigate the delivery address, recipient details, phone number, and other information available in the order records.
- Preserve all relevant records, including account access logs, order details, payment information, delivery records, IP/device information, and communication records, for investigation by the authorities.
- Cooperate fully with the Cyber Crime authorities and other investigating agencies, as I have already reported this matter to them.
- Confirm in writing the actions taken by Flipkart and the status of the investigation.
I am attaching the
invoice/bill and the available details of the recipient/address associated with the fraudulent order for your reference.
Details associated with the fraudulent order:
Name: Abhishek Kumar
Address:
Jat Bhawan, Sec 27A, State
Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
Sukhna Path, 19B, Sector 19
Chandigarh – 160019, Chandigarh
Phone: 9354190881 (Now its switched off)
This is a serious case of online fraud and unauthorized use of my financial information. I request Flipkart to treat this matter as
URGENT and take immediate steps to trace and recover the device and assist the authorities in identifying the person responsible.
I look forward to your immediate response and a detailed update on the action being taken.
Regards,
