Curious, Rakhra decided to look into it only to see that it was a fake site. The elaborate scam was using <keyword id="8602207" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="fake-flipkart-logos">fake Flipkart logos</keyword> to sell products like phones and electronics with deep discounts. And, they are demanding an advance via Paytm. Through ads on UC Browser, scammers were offering Samsung, Redmi and Oppo smartphones for as low as ₹1,599 calling them ‘deals of the day’. For India’s rural consumers, it might come across as an attractive deal – only that they are asked to pay the amount through Paytm in advance. <a href="https://twitter.com/karticrakhra/status/1218814433364865026?s=19">https://twitter.com/karticrakhra/status/1218814433364865026?s=19</a> Many victims of the scam Rakhra pointed out that while Paytm issues a warning against making any advance payments, it does so in English which many ‘Bharat’ users fail to understand. “These ads are targeted at people who are new to the internet economy. So these are the people who think that having an ad on television legitimises the brand. When I told my grandfather's attendant, he put it out as a WhatsApp status that this is a scam and several others replied too that they have been scammed like that,” said Rakhra, who works as the product head at Blockchain powered company Somish Labs. Discounts and deals have been the not-so-secret sauce for Indian e-commerce sites. That’s exactly what fake sites use to lure people. Flipkart initiates a takedown Flipkart too is aware of the problem and has been working on. It also published <a href="https://stories.flipkart.com/fake-offers-fraudulent-sites-2/">a blog</a> in July 2018 to spread awareness. “We have a stringent process to check for fake and phishing sites. At Flipkart, a large part of our efforts are directed towards ensuring our customers are educated and well-informed. We have a robust continuous process in place to monitor, identify and take legal action against fake/lookalike domains, phishing sites and fraudulent websites, apps and social media pages that attempt to bring disrepute to Flipkart by impersonating our brand and thereby cheating and defrauding our customers and the public at large,” said a Flipkart spokesperson. Within Flipkart, the company also has a Brand Protection Council which assesses, monitors, reports and takes legal action against such fraudulent websites. “In the past year, we have reported and taken down a number of such fraudulent online sites,” said the spokesperson. E-commerce sites in India have often been subject to fraudulent links and scams where people misuse their name. Today, India’s third largest e-commerce player Snapdeal has secured a Delhi High Court order that has led to nearly fraudulent 1200 links being removed from Twitter. These entities were faking Snapdeal. “These were in violation of the copyright and registered trademarks of Snapdeal and also sought to represent that they are the official twitter handles of Snapdeal. The court’s interim order came in a suit filed by Snapdeal. In the suit, Snapdeal has also impeded various unidentified defendants who are the owners of the aforesaid URLs/links,” said Snapdeal.

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Maggi-Return-of-the-prodigal-instant-noodle-brand/articleshow/49657087.cms">Maggi is back</a>! Hearing it for the past two months? Well, <keyword id="3131647" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Maggi-is-back">maggi is back</keyword> for real on the shelves and not just <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Maggi-may-make-a-comeback-soon-as-Nestle-India-appoints-Suresh-Narayanan-as-new-MD/articleshow/48203208.cms">in announcements</a>. <keyword id="75190" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nestle">Nestle</keyword> India today relaunched its popular <keyword id="6369404" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Maggi">Maggi</keyword> noodles in India, after five months. 
 
And guess its marketing strategy this time. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Maggi-will-be-back-in-December/articleshow/49627185.cms">Nestle</a> has partnered with online marketplace <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Snapdeal-to-foster-employment-in-rural-India/articleshow/46504328.cms">Snapdeal</a> for the rollout. 
 
"The rollout has begun today. It has been a challenging period for the Nestle Organisation, and therefore, there is a feeling of satisfaction at bringing back Maggi noodles to the market," Nestle India said in a regulatory filing. 
 
After impacting the company with <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Maggi-hits-Nestle-hard-60-drop-in-net-profit/articleshow/49583972.cms">huge losses and dragging the company to court</a>, our beloved snack is back with a bang. It will not be available in eight states that have banned its sale. 
 
"Most states do not have a ban on sale of Maggi noodles. For states where specific directions are required, we are engaging with them," Nestle India said. 
 
The company is presently manufacturing Maggi noodles at three locations - Nanjangud (Karnataka), Moga (Punjab) and Bicholim (Goa). 
 
Nestle India said all samples of Maggi Noodles Masala have been cleared by three National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories-accredited labs as mandated by the Bombay High Court.

Maggi is back with a bang and Snapdeal is pushing

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Bi Screenshot</div></div></div>Here's a new online scam that's targeting both Macs and PCs: if you accidentally type ".om" instead of ".com," you could find yourself redirected to a webpage that wants to install malware and other nasty software on your computer.The attack was first discovered by <a href="https://www.endgame.com/blog/what-does-oman-house-cards-and-typosquatting-have-common-om-domain-and-dangers-typosquatting">Endgame</a>, which has a fantastic, detailed write-up from a security perspective on its blog.They explain:House of Cards Season 4 debuted on Netflix this past weekend, much to the joy of millions of fans, including many Endgamers. One particular Endgamer made an innocent, but potentially damaging mistake. He mistyped the domain "www.netflix.com" as "netflix.om" in his browser, accidentally dropping the "c" in ".com". He did not get a DNS resolution error, which would have indicated the domain he typed doesn't exist. Instead, due to the registration of "netflix.om" by a malicious actor, the domain resolved successfully. His browser was immediately redirected several times, and eventually landed on a "Flash Updater" page with all the usual annoying (and to an untrained user, terrifying) scareware pop-ups. Basically, Engame discovered that malicious parties have taken to buying up the web domains of popular typos related to popular websites, with the hopes that unsuspecting people will see the fake "Flash Updater" popup and install the infected software out of fear.Luckily, when you arrive at one of these websites, the malware won't immediately install itself. Instead, it will prompt you to download a file that could look like a Adobe Flash update. It goes without saying, but don't download or install it. It's fake, and will infect your computer with spammy software.According to Kaspersky Lab, that fake "Flash Updater" download usually carries a payload called Genieo, which installs itself as an extension on your browsers and generally serves pop-ups and other annoyances on your computer.When I visited "netflix.om" a few minutes ago, I wasn't prompted to install anything, but I found myself on a site that was decidedly sketchy and may have been phishing for my email password. Google Chrome wouldn't even let me visit "adobe.om.," as our company firewall detected something wasn't right.As Endgame points out, ".om" is the country-specific domain name for Oman, and domains associated "with the vast majority of brands" may currently be unregistered. If you own a company, it might be worth picking up your associated .om domain name if you've found yourself the target of phishing scams before.Here's the <a href="http://pastebin.com/q2WCuw6K">complete list</a> of sketchy ".om" sites found so far:126.om 163.om 1688.om 17173.om 28.om 4399.om 53.om 58.om 6pm.om 6pmc.om aa.om aaa.om aac.om abercrombie.om adidas.om adobe.om adp.om aetna.om agoda.om alibaba.om aliexpress.om aliexpressc.om aljazeera.om amazon.om amazonc.om americanexpress.om ameritrade.om ancestry.om aol.om aolc.om ask.om asos.om att.om autotrader.om autozone.om avg.om badoo.om baidu.om baiduc.om bankofamerica.om barnesandnoble.om beeg.om bestbuy.om bestbuyc.om bet365.om bet365c.om betfair.om bing.om blogfa.om blogger.om blogspot.om bol.om bolc.om boohoo.om bookingc.om capitalone.om cbs.om chasec.om cheapoair.om chegg.om cibc.om citi.om citibank.om citibankc.om cj.om cnet.om cnn.om cnnc.om costco.om creditkarma.om ctrip.om cvs.om dailymotion.om dangdang.om dell.om delta.om deviantart.om digg.om directv.om discovercard.om douban.om dropbox.om drugstore.om dubizzle.om dw.om dx.om eastbay.om eastmoney.om ebates.om ebayc.om enterprise.om etao.om etrade.om etsy.om evite.om expediac.om facebookc.om fedex.om fiverr.om flickr.om flipkart.om fnac.om footlocker.om forever21.om fox.om foxnews.om freelancer.om ft.om gamestop.om ganji.om geico.om gilt.om github.om gizmodo.om globo.om gmail.om gnc.om go.om godaddy.om googlec.om groupon.om hao123.om haosou.om hi5.om hilton.om homedepot.om hotelsc.om hottopic.om hotwirec.om hp.om hsn.om htc.om huanqiu.om huffingtonpost.om hulu.om hupu.om ifeng.om ign.om ihg.om ikea.om imdb.om imgur.om indeed.om instagram.om instagramc.om intuit.om iqiyi.om istockphoto.om jcpenney.om jcrew.om jd.om jdc.om jet.om kaspersky.om kayak.om kayakc.om kmart.om kohls.om kooora.om lan.om lastminute.om lenovo.om linkedin.om linkedinc.om live.om livejournal.om livescore.om lowes.om lufthansa.om macys.om mapquest.om meituan.om mi.om miniinthebox.om mlb.om monster.om monsterc.om msnc.om mtv.om nascar.om nba.om nbc.om netflix.om newegg.om nfl.om nhl.om nike.om nj.om nordstrom.om norton.om nuomi.om office365.om officedepot.om okcupid.om oldnavy.om one.om opentable.om oracle.om orbitz.om outlook.om outlookc.om overstock.om pandora.om paypal.om paypalc.om pch.om photobucket.om pinterest.om pnc.om pof.om pogo.om priceline.om progressive.om qq.om qqc.om qunar.om qvc.om qz.om realtor.om realtorc.om reddit.om rediff.om rei.om renren.om rr.om samsclub.om samsung.om scottrade.om sears.om shutterfly.om si.om skype.om snapdeal.om sogou.om sohu.om sony.om soundcloud.om southwest.om sportsdirect.om spotify.om sprint.om staplesc.om starbucks.om statefarm.om steampowered.om stubhub.om suning.om suntrust.om t-mobile.om taobao.om taobaoc.om targetc.om tdcanadatrust.om tesco.om ticketmaster.om tigerdirect.om tmall.om tmallc.om tmz.om toysrus.om travelocity.om trulia.om tudou.om tumblr.om tuniu.om united.om ups.om urbanoutfitters.om usaa.om usaac.om usbankc.om usps.om vanguard.om verizon.om verizonwireless.om vimeo.om vip.om vistaprint.om vk.om vkc.om vrbo.om vueling.om walgreens.om walmart.om walmartc.om wayfair.om weatherc.om webmd.om weibo.om weiboc.om wellsfargo.om wellsfargoc.om wetter.om whatsapp.om williamhill.om woot.om wordpress.om wordpressc.om wsj.om wwe.om xbox.om xe.om xvideos.om y8.om yahoo.om yahooc.om yandex.om yatra.om yellowpages.om yelp.om yhd.om youku.om youtube.om youtubec.om zappos.om zapposc.om zara.om zillow.om zulily.om <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-messaging-tricks-apple-smartphone-tech-mute-location-forward-2016-3">How to send self-destructing messages - and other iPhone messaging tricks</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="Uzb254MTE6qWwKvpjtvaX0v3cMi-Vdxd" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
