Fake Zepto messages and links
Fake Zepto Pass, missing-item refund and rider-job messages ask for logins, cards and bag deposits. Check your order details.
Zepto is a quick-commerce app that delivers groceries, snacks and household items to city homes in a few minutes from local dark stores. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Zepto 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 Zepto messages
- Zepto Pass free for new users, sign in here to receive the benefit
- Order missing item refund, confirm your card to get the money
- Part-time delivery rider jobs open, pay for a bag and uniform
- Your Zepto order is on hold, share the OTP with our rider to dispatch
How to verify it yourself
Zepto orders, missing-item claims and refunds are managed inside its app, in the order details, and money goes back to your payment source. Delivery code belongs to your own order and is for the rider who arrives with it. If you are applying for rider work, apply through the official channels listed on the company's website you type yourself, and do not pay a deposit for a bag or uniform. Coupons are applied in the cart, and do not need payments to unlock.
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.
