Mumbaikars want to order liquor online? Do not call on these phone numbers

by

On Friday, the Mumbai Police has released a list of phone numbers of fraudsters relating to the home delivery of liquor. The Police said that the citizens search for online purchase of liquor and fall prey to "helpline numbers" of fraudsters uploaded intentionally.

"It has been noticed that in many instances the citizens do not actually visit the genuine/authentic websites and instead pick up these numbers from a preliminary Google search. Eventually, many citizens are getting duped in various ways when they call up these numbers to purchase liquor online," they said and added that there have been several recent online payment scams in Mumbai and many customers have lost huge sums of money due to these scams.

Here are the phone numbers used by frauds relating to home delivery of liquor:

Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court on Friday refused to quash or set aside the notifications issued by the BMC and the Maharashtra government, which allowed the online sale of liquor. The HC while refusing to grant any relief to the liquor merchants, has asked the civic chief to look into their grievances. A bench of Justices Nitin Jamdar and Nitin Borkar, was hearing a petition filed by the Maharashtra Wine Merchants Association. The plea challenged the notifications issued on May 5, May 12 and subsequently on May 22, by the civic body.
