The story of willful fraud by Paytm to loot its customers with forged documents

This is in regards to a wilful fraud perpetrated upon me by the team at Paytm by closing my account without consent or information and by denying knowledge about my money and important transactions.

Now I being forced to accept an amount from Paytm which is not based on any document or account statement. It has been randomly announced by Paytm that they will give this much money. Take it or leave it. The powers to be are on thr side.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma who is aware of this fraud has blocked me so as to shrug responsibility and to encourage his men to defraud people.

_____________________________________

The other day I received a call from Paytm, where the employee told me that many such accounts are being closed without information or consent and when I asked him about where is all that money going, he said I can raise an escalation about it. Kindly note that even though, after raising the issue, I have got Paytm to admit that they have not disclosed where my money and I am forcing Paytm to give back my money, Paytm as the employee said has no knowledge either where money is or when it will be returned to people.

This sounds like a huge case of fraud and embezzlement wherein without any information Paytm is closing accounts and keeping the money to self.

It is also important to note here that in all interactions with Paytm, the employees are not giving their names or designation at Paytm. 

Now that I have raised repeated escalations, they are claiming to have documents which do not exist which state that I replied to them on 19th, and reverted on Ganesh's email on 19th. If that is the case, those emails are clear fabrications and forged documents created by Paytm at their CEO's direction who is aware of this. Indeed, while Vijay Shekhar Sharma is buying a posh 82 crore Lutyen's Delhi home, he has the inside knowledge of how the fraud is happening. I have repeatedly emailed him and raised the issue through his social accounts, but he has been unable to reply because of all the Chinese money he is counting. Apparently, it was less for him, so he began swindling his own customers it seems.

How did I come to know about this?

I had an important payment to make at a shop and instead of withdrawing cash I thought of paying it through Paytm. The account didn't work and no one at Paytm helped. They failed to recognize my details. Upon repeated escalations, they admitted they just erased my account on a whim.

_________

I want my account reinstated to its previous standing. I don't know how it will be done. The consumer forum can't help. The media is too enamored by the Chinese funding Paytm has so doesn't raise its voice. Its strange that so many people have been duped by paytm on various occasions, I have read so many stories in the past week, but shockingly, not one media raises its voice.

It had long-standing coupons ensuring cashback every month till December. I had already used coupons until April.

It has very important transaction details.

The Paytm players in the story

Pankaj called me and admitted that a wrong has been done upon me. He said he will talk to his superiors and get a resolution for me. But the superiors shut him up and he never called me back.

Divyanshu was the one who got all aggressive that it was Paytm's wish if they want to do it, they will do it.

Priyesh called me the other day and assured that he wil call back within 2 hours with a proper resolution and close the case. But he was gagged too by the top brass at Paytm.

Why do we crave bookshops when life falls apart? A deep reading of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

This article reflects on Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum, a gentle novel about burnout, healing, and second chances. Through Yeong-ju and her quiet community, the book reminds you that meaning often returns slowly, through books, people, and ordinary days that begin to feel like home again. Why do so many of us secretly dream of walking away from everything? At some point, usually on a crowded weekday morning or during yet another meeting that could have been an email, you wonder if this is all there is. You did what you were told. You studied, worked hard, built a career, stayed responsible. And yet, instead of contentment, there is exhaustion. Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop begins exactly at this uncomfortable truth. Hwang Bo-reum’s novel does not shout its intentions. It does not promise transformation through grand revelations. Instead, it sits beside you quietly and asks a gentler question. What if the problem is not that you failed, but that you nev...

What if You Could undo every regret? An uncomfortable conversation with The Midnight Library

Have you ever replayed your life at night, wondering how things might have turned out differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig asks you to sit with that question. Through Nora Seed’s quiet despair and imagined alternatives, the novel explores regret, possibility, depression, and the fragile hope that living at all might be enough. Have you ever wondered if one different choice could have changed everything? You probably have. Most people do. Usually at night. Usually when the world goes quiet and your mind decides to reopen old files you never asked it to keep. The job you did not take. The person you loved too late or too briefly. The version of yourself that felt possible once. You tell yourself that if you had chosen differently, life would feel fuller, cleaner, less heavy. The Midnight Library begins exactly there, in that familiar ache. Not with drama, but with exhaustion. Not with chaos, but with a woman who feels she has quietly failed at everything that mattered.

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
