Blinkit gold buyer claims scam; posts detailed message on X

As Blinkit promised 10-minute deliveries of gold and silver coins, a user on X claimed he had been scammed with a smaller gold coin than what he paid for

An X user claimed Blinkit’s online gold purchase scheme is a scam after he was given the wrong product. The user ordered a gold coin from Blinkit as part of the quick commerce company’s 10-minute delivery for gold/silver coins during the Diwali festival season.

The social media user who posted under the X username ‘Mohit Jain’ on October 29 claimed that he ordered a 1 gram gold coin and a 1 gram silver coin, paying upfront. He was allegedly not at home to receive the order, which his brother instead took.
