Team India and Chennai Super Kings pacer Deepak Chahar fell prey to online food delivery fraud by Zomato on Saturday, February 24. Chahar took to his X handle (formerly Twitter) to highlight his ordeal of ordering food online from Zomato.
The 31-year-old shared a screenshot of the food he ordered from Zomato and mentioned that the food delivery giant accused him of lying when he informed customer service about not receiving his food despite the Zomato app showing it 'delivered'. Chahar believes that other customer may have faced similar issues.
"New fraud in India. Ordered food from @zomato and app shows delivered but didn’t receive anything. After calling the customer service they also said that it’s been delivered and m lying . M sure lot of people must be facing same issues. Tag @zomato and tell your story." Deepak Chahar wrote on X.
However, Zomato responded to Deepak Chahar's tweet and apologized for the inconvenience and took issues seriously while ensuring a swift resolution to the matter.
Responding to Zomato in the same thread, Deepak Chahar emphasised that a lot of people are facing similar issue and no action has been taken, adding that refunding the money won't resolve hunger.
"Just wanted to highlight this as lot of people face this issue and no proper action is taken giving back the money of the order will not solve the issue. Hunger cannot be compensate with money ."
Several users commented on the Deepak Chahar's post and admitted that they too have experienced similar issues with food delivery app. Many of X users accused Zomato for not having proper customer service.
