Kayani Bakery Cyber Scam: Several duped due to fake website & Google listing
Kayani Bakery Cyber Scam: Several duped due to fake website & Google listing
In order to pull off a significant con, cybercriminals are said to have imitated the famous Kayani Bakery in Pune’s website and made a phony Google listing under the bakery’s name.
Individuals who have been using the phony website and the mobile phone numbers listed on Google listings to place online orders for different Kayani Bakery products have been losing thousands of rupees.
The Kayani Bakery’s owners have complained to Pune City Police about online fraud committed under their name.
According to a Kayani Bakery partner, their website, www.kayanibakerypune.com, is authentic. He drew attention to the fake website called “kayanibakeryonline.com” that purportedly serves as a con and features a picture of the East Street Kayani Bakery in Camp area, as well as images of various Kayani bakery products and a phone number.
The Kayani Bakery partner further said that many people, who claim to have lost hundreds or thousands of rupees after making online payments for Kayani Bakery products, have been contacting them on a daily basis since December 2023. A few days prior, someone visited the bakery after losing Rs 1.35 lakhs to an internet scam. This was shocking. They discovered that the fraudulent Google listing, which appears to be in the name of Kayani Bakery and features their products as well as a phone number where people can place orders, is the means by which the scam is being carried out. The fraud has nothing to do with Kayani Bakery. They accept payment only in their store by card and cash and through Zomato for delivery in Pune. They don’t have any other branches, franchises, or online ordering portals.
In an effort to stop dishonesty, Kayani Bakery has stated on its Google listing that it never requests an OTP for any transactions involving the sale of its goods. According to the statement, they do not have any numbers of any kind supporting online delivery through calls.
A case has been filed and further action has been initiated in the case.
