Fake Swiggy messages and links
Fake Swiggy stuck-order refunds, membership renewals and cashback QR codes ask for PINs and small fees. Check the orders screen.
Swiggy is an Indian app for ordering restaurant food, groceries through Instamart and for booking tables, with delivery partners on bikes. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Swiggy 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 Swiggy messages
- Swiggy: your order is stuck, pay a Rs 5 fee to get your money back
- Swiggy One membership lapsed, renew free using this link
- Delivery partner needs an OTP to hand over a package you did not order
- Swiggy Money cashback is waiting, scan the QR to receive it
How to verify it yourself
Open the Swiggy app and look at the order status, the delivery partner's details and refund timeline under your orders. A refund returns to your payment method or Swiggy Money automatically, so a PIN, QR scan or app install is never part of it. The delivery code on your order screen is for the person who actually brings a real order. Use help inside the app, since customer care numbers in search results may not be genuine.
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.

What should I do if I tapped a link in a fake Swiggy 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.
