MUMBAI, INDIA: In view of the rising incidents of fraud, the Trade Associa­tion of Information Techno­logy (TAIT) has alerted its members against yet another fraudulent company operating by the name of Shanti Systems in Mumbai.

TAIT alleged that Sanjay, proprietor of Shanti Systems located at Matunga in Mumbai has taken one of its members Triveni Copy Systems for a ride. In a mail, copy of which is with DQ Channels, TAIT has alerted its members against doing business with Shanti Systems and requested them to inform them if Sanjay tries to approach them for any business related activity.

Informing about the fraud incident, Laxmikant Morarka, Proprietor of Triveni Copy Systems shared, “Few weeks ago Sanjay approached my company and purchased several Transcend pen drives in my absence. He also issued a State Bank of Hyderabad cheque for Rs 15,525 which later bounced due to insufficient funds. Following this I sent one of my employees at his office address only to learn that there was no company that existed by that name. He has shared incorrect details about his office address with the bank.”

Triveni has also written a letter to the bank in order to garner further details around the customer.

“We will be writing a letter to the bank and question them around the authenticity of Shanti Systems and the reasons for acknowledging his creden­tials,” added Morarka.Shanti Systems had purchased around 30 units of Transcend's 2GB pen drive (serial no 525332-0531-0540/0671-0680/524713-8501-8510) and seven units of 8GB pen drive (serial no. 526798-3034-3040).
