How it looks on WhatsApp, the red flags and what to do.

On WhatsApp the scammer can send images, voice notes, PDFs and APK files, and a friendly profile photo makes the first message feel safe. WhatsApp Group Reseller and Bulk Product Offer is one of the ways this shows up: A WhatsApp group promises wholesale prices and easy resale profits for an upfront payment, then stops delivering. Learn to check a reseller offer.

What whatsapp group reseller and bulk product offer looks like on WhatsApp

• A friend or relative asking for urgent money from a new number or a hacked account.
• A group invite promising returns, jobs or prizes.
• A PDF, APK or image that must be opened to "see the details".

The set-up is the group itself. A scammer creates a number of accounts that act as satisfied resellers, posting delivery pictures and profit calculations. A small trial order is delivered with a few real items so the group looks active. Newcomers are encouraged to buy a starter kit, with wording such as 'limited slots' and 'only for serious people'.

Red flags to check on the WhatsApp message

• The group is full of profit screenshots but no one can be met or called independently.
• The supplier asks for full advance to a personal or unnamed account.
• The group rules forbid questions or complaints.
• Prices change by the hour, and 'slots' are limited.
• You are added to a group full of people praising profits.
• The sender moves you quickly to Telegram or to a second app.

What to do

1. Ask for the supplier's registered business details and verify them independently.
2. Try a very small order first, with cash on delivery where possible.
3. Search the supplier's name and the product for complaints.
4. If it was a "friend", call them on the number you already have and ask.
5. Turn on two-step verification in WhatsApp settings so a stolen SMS code is not enough.
6. Warn the group or family, and report the number on Sanchar Saathi if it is a scam call or message.

Inside WhatsApp use Block and report; for numbers that call or text you, the Sanchar Saathi portal (Chakshu facility) also takes complaints.

If money or a code is already gone

1. Call 1930 and report at cybercrime.gov.in with the payment reference and group details.
2. Tell your bank through the official app so the receiving account can be noted.
3. Save screenshots of the group, the supplier's messages and invoices.
4. Do not pay any extra fee for release or dispatch.
