Meesho Files Criminal Complaint Against Fraudulent Users In Kolkata & Bengaluru

SUMMARY

Meesho said that it would work closely with local authorities and will cooperate with them in their investigation

Meesho said only 0.01% of their orders accounted for unconsented orders

Last week the social commerce platform was served legal notice over fraudulent order

After months of alleged reports of people receiving fraudulent orders through Meesho, the Bengaluru-based B2B commerce platform has finally sought cops’ help to put an end to it. Meesho has filed multiple criminal complaints against fraudulent users who have sent unconsented orders to its customers. The startup said it has filed complaints in both Kolkata and Bengaluru, giving a sense that most of the unsolicited orders were sent from these cities. Meesho in a statement said that it would work closely with these local authorities and will cooperate with them in their investigation. The social commerce startup said that though 0.01% orders accounted for unconsented orders, the startup has implemented several measures at the backend to avoid any recurrence in future.

Founder Vidit Aatrey Twitter tweeted that Meesho has a no-tolerance policy towards any misuse on the Meesho platform. Since the time Meesho along with five other startups – Cred, Pharmeasy, Groww, Sharechat, and Gupshup entered the unicorn club in the second week of April, social media have been flooded with posts referring to unconsented orders from Meesho getting delivered.
