Fake Ecom Express calls and apps

Callers claiming to be Ecom Express riders, asking for OTPs, pickup fees and deposits. Learn the script and how to verify.

Ecom Express is an Indian logistics company that has carried parcels for online shopping sites and delivered them to customers' doors. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Ecom Express on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake Ecom Express calls and apps

Caller says your return pickup will fail unless you pay a small fee through a link
Fake rider asks you to tell him the delivery OTP while he is still on the way
Caller claims a high value parcel needs a refundable deposit to be sent back
WhatsApp number offers delivery jobs and asks for a security deposit

How to verify it yourself

The shop you bought from, whether Amazon, Flipkart or another site, keeps the real delivery and return status in its own app, so check there. Ecom Express tracking is also available on its website, typed by hand, with the shipment number. Delivery partners are hired by the company, with no uniform or ID fees collected on a call. An OTP is to be told only when the parcel is in your hands.

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.

Check it before you tap or pay

Safeavio Sentinel is a made-in-India Android app: paste a message or link, or scan a QR code, and get a plain verdict with the reasons. It helps you spot a scam; it does not promise to stop every one.

Questions

A caller says they are from Ecom Express. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Ecom Express through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can Ecom Express ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
