Most of the scams happen through this site. Recently I have lost Rs 1.49L INR, gave order for buying Canon 5D Mark 3 camera from a retailer DIGITAL CAM,Arunachal Pradesh, Niruli, India and owner name was Mr.Faizan Shaikh (manager) and Alok Bansal (secretary) both from Mumbai but says they have firm for film and photography business and also shared their Account Details (see below), so I believe them 'cuz they also provide me their PAN card details, I checked and crossverified, name was correct as it is in PAN Card. So placed the order for 2nd hand Canon 5D MK3 at Rs 65,000/-. First, payment is done and later I got the invoice they had added 3 more extra cameras in extra to my Canon5dMK3 and told me that order was misplaced and they had fired their agent who was responsible for this packaging and later gave me this site as to track my shipping details - http://primexpresscourier.com/. All total bill was 2.94LINR as 3 extra cameras were included apart from my order in the same invoice, so they told me that I could only accept and open my order, if I pay them security refundable deposit of another Rs80,000, otherwise they told me if you returned the order they would charge me demurrage charges which could go beyond 3L (or Rs70,ooo extra only on my order). SO, I agree and finally I transferred another Rs 80,000, but now when Im tracking in this site, the order never reached the destination Hyderabad from Arunachal. later when I investigate about this site, I came to know it is a .php built site not a registered one,contact no. is not a valid one,location in Google throws 404 location error, and my courier status still says itis in Maharastra from last 3 days. I lost total of Rs 1.5L, investigate further more about this site, they constantly changes the name of the page, if u dnt believe me search in google primeexpresscourier scam complaints and see for the results.
Now details of those scammers(search the PAN details, you can still see verified in google)

I have proof of all the email communications, i can foward it, if needed
We are chatting with the same culprit. He gave exact way replies.I was Making a research on the So called company, and your post helped us a lot. We are planning to lead those towards the fraud investigation branch guys.
Hi AV,
Did You pay for the CAM to that guy?
I think Kundan (guy who originally posted this issue) should respond on the status of his complaint.
Since I did not pay for the cam I do not know the way to come over it.
I think you can lodge a complaint with the cyber crime police. since you have their address, contact numbers bank account details etc.
Guys,
Any update on this, or how did you resolve this...I just got hit by this same guy.
I should have done my due diligence.
Thank You so much for sharing this details.
I too tried to purchase D810 cam for 65000 from the same seller (shaikh) with a different company name (MAXELE CAM). Though i was suspicious right from the begining, their professional approach via emails made me believe they are genuine. they provided me the bank account details (001********4 Amit Gupta). I some how got doubt bcos their bank account was from mumbai, shipping from arunachal pradesh and the ad posted in quikr was mentioned as located in New Delhi.
I tried to make payment but their account is freezed. Then I say your complaint and backed off. Thank you so much for posting this and saving me from falling in their trap
Hello Mr. Kundan
What happend after this? Did you raise any complaints? did you get back the money ? I don't this any action has been taken on this guy as he is back again with the same modus operandi.
Me too fell for this and lost my money.
