Fake Purplle calls and apps

Callers claiming to be Purplle support ask for UPI delivery fees, card numbers or screenshots. Learn how to verify.

Purplle is an Indian online beauty and personal care shop that sells cosmetics, skincare and haircare brands. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Purplle 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 Purplle calls and apps

Caller says a free kit will be sent after a delivery payment by UPI
Fake support requests your card number to cancel a subscription
Caller asks for an OTP to redeem reward coins
Voice says your order is stuck and wants a screenshot of your payment app

How to verify it yourself

Your coins, orders and subscriptions are listed in your Purplle account in the official app or website, so check them there. Free gifts that need a delivery payment are a standard trap, and payment details are entered only on checkout pages of the shop. A cancellation never requires your card number from a caller. Sharing a screenshot of your payment app shows balances and transaction details to someone you do not know, so avoid 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.

Questions

A caller says they are from Purplle. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Purplle 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 Purplle 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.
