How can I avoid fraud when buying from Surat online?

Short answer

Verify the business before paying: check its GST number, market address and shop number, ask for a video call from the shop, start with a small order, and pay only to an account in the business's name.

Most Surat traders are genuine, but online sourcing attracts imposters. Warning signs include prices far below the market, pressure to pay the full amount urgently, refusal to share a GST number or shop address, and payment requests to personal accounts.

Safer habits: look up the market in our directory and confirm the shop number exists, ask for a live video walk-through, order a sample first, and keep all agreements in writing.
