Is Flipkart a Scam? Your 2026 Guide to Avoiding Fraud with Graphics Tablets

The 'Low Price' Ad Redirect: Be wary of social media ads or search results offering professional graphics tablets at unrealistically low prices. These often redirect to fake websites designed to steal your payment information or deliver counterfeit products. Always research the seller independently and compare prices across reputable retailers.

Refurbished Sold as New: Be cautious of listings that do not clearly state the condition of the graphics tablet. Scammers may attempt to sell refurbished or used items as new to inflate prices. Always check product descriptions for details on condition, and if purchasing refurbished, ensure it's from a trusted source with clear policies.

The Open-Box Inspection Swap: This scam involves a seller claiming an item is 'open-box' or 'returned,' only to have swapped the original product with a faulty or different item before sending it to you. Always opt for open-box inspection at the time of delivery if available, and meticulously check the product's serial number and specifications against the original listing.

Fake Courier OTP Request: Be extremely cautious if a courier or delivery person asks for an OTP (One-Time Password) to complete delivery or process a return. Legitimate delivery services do not require OTPs for standard delivery or returns. This is a tactic to gain access to your phone or accounts.

Incorrect Item Return Fraud: This scam occurs when a customer returns an incorrect or faulty item in place of the original product purchased. If you receive a product that doesn't match your order, do not attempt to return it without first contacting Flipkart customer support. Document everything with photos and videos before initiating any return process.
