Fake Blinkit messages and links
Fake Blinkit undeliverable-order refunds, wallet transfers and delivery-partner kit fees ask for logins and cards. Check the app.
Blinkit, formerly Grofers, is a quick-commerce app that brings groceries, electronics accessories and household goods to doorsteps in minutes. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Blinkit in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake Blinkit messages
- Blinkit: your order cannot be delivered, accept the refund by logging in here
- Blinkit wallet balance expires tonight, transfer it to your bank with this link
- Be a delivery partner, pay Rs 799 for the starter kit
- Your parcel contains a restricted item, pay a customs charge to receive it
How to verify it yourself
Open the Blinkit app to see each order, its status and refund, and read the delivery details there. Cancelled orders are refunded to the original payment source or to the wallet inside the app, so no one has to move money to your bank by a link. A rider joining kit is not sold by random callers; check delivery partner onboarding on the company's own website. A collect request on a payment app only ever takes money, so decline it.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

How can I tell if a Blinkit message is real?
Do not judge by the sender name or the logo; both can be copied. Open the official Blinkit app or type its website yourself and look for the same notice. Blinkit will not ask for your OTP, PIN or password in a message.
What should I do if I tapped a link in a fake Blinkit message?
Close the page without typing anything. If you entered details, change the password at once from the official app, call your bank or provider using the number on your card or bill, and report at cybercrime.gov.in. If money moved, call 1930.
