Sharma Trader will NEVER
- ask for your OTP, UPI PIN, ATM PIN, CVV, card number or netbanking password, by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, email or in person;
- ask you to pay into a personal bank account or a personal UPI ID, or to pay an "advance", "registration fee", "delivery fee" or "refund processing fee";
- ask you to scan a QR code or "accept a collect request" to receive money. You never need to enter your PIN to receive a refund;
- ask you to install a screen-sharing or remote-access app (such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer);
- offer jobs, dealerships, franchises, lucky draws or prizes for a fee;
- send you a link to pay that is not on www.sharmatrademart.com and does not open Razorpay's secure payment window.
All website payments happen only on www.sharmatrademart.com through Razorpay. Refunds go back automatically to the payment method you used. We do not offer cash on delivery, so our courier will never ask you for money for an online order.

If you think you have been cheated
- If you lost money: call 1930 (National Cyber Crime Helpline) at once and report at cybercrime.gov.in. Speed matters: the sooner you report, the better the chance of stopping the money.
- Call your bank using the number on the back of your card or on the bank's own website, and block the card or UPI if needed.
- If you got a suspicious call, SMS or WhatsApp but did not lose money: report it on Chakshu in the Government's Sanchar Saathi portal (sancharsaathi.gov.in).
- Tell us on +91 89687 95698 or help@sharmatrademart.com, so we can warn other customers. We cannot recover money sent to someone else, but we will help with any information we have.
