Bangladesh (https://www.daraz.com.bd/) authorities have urged all its customers
and consumers to visit its original site for all their shopping needs in order
to avoid being deceived by fraudsters on the prowl.
Recently,
the Cyber Crime Investigation Division (CTTC) of DMP has detained a person who
has been allegedly involved in deceiving customers through a fake website in
the name of Daraz Bangladesh. The website with the domain name of daraz.cl was
cloned in the form of the original website of Daraz Bangladesh, and a Facebook
page titled ‘DarazBangladesh’ was also opened to communicate with the
customers. The website and the page were designed meticulously to con customers
and sell illegal products. This has
caused substantial reputational damage which adversely affect the goodwill of Daraz
and one of the key reasons for the customers to lose faith in the e-commerce
platform. Moreover, this syndicate has
already swindled an enormous amount of money from the customers – the amount
being received through different MFS accounts.
Against
such a backdrop, Daraz Bangladesh has requested all its revered customers to
stay away from any suspicious activity and browse their original site. Daraz
always complies with all the laws of the country and conducts its business
operations with precision. In response to the fraud committed through fake
websites, Daraz has already filed a case with Banani Police Station. There is
no way of getting deceived by Daraz. The only website through which customers
can order products is - https://www.daraz.com.bd/, and the official Facebook
page of Daraz Bangladesh is
https://www.facebook.com/DarazBangladesh
AHM Hasinul Quddus, Chief Corporate Affairs
Officer of Daraz Bangladesh, said in this regard, “We appreciate the support
that we have received from the CTTC Unit of DMP. Our team will support DMP with
full cooperation and bring out the best results for our customers and the
industry. Daraz always keeps its customers at the top of the priority list, and
ensuring a safer mode of shopping for them is our main concern. We request all
our customers to visit our original website and use the authentic transaction
channels to pay.”
Mr.
Asaduzzaman- Additional Police Commissioner from CTTC Unit of DMP said,
“Nowadays different innovative techniques are being applied to cheat common
people. Fraudsters are getting increasingly smart. Cross-sections of people
need to be more aware of these trends and explore only the original websites
for availing any service.”
