Online shopping is becoming very popular in Nepal. Many people trust online stores because they promise cheap prices, fast delivery, and Cash on Delivery (COD) . Unfortunately, some websites take advantage of this trust to scam innocent customers.
This blog is to warn people about a suspicious website called Tudoholic.com so others can avoid becoming victims.
How the Scam Works
The website advertises heavily on Google Ads and social media. Their advertisements usually promise:
High-quality clothing and products
Very low prices
Free delivery across Nepal
Fast delivery within 3 days
Cash on Delivery (COD)
At first, everything looks legitimate.
After placing an order, a woman from their “customer service” calls the buyer to confirm the order. She communicates politely to build trust.
Then the scam begins.
Payment Trap
The caller tells customers one of the following:
-
Delivery can be faster if you pay half the amount first , or
-
You will get extra discount if you pay the full amount in advance
Many customers send money through bank transfer or digital wallet.
After payment:
-
They stop answering calls
-
They never deliver the product
Customer numbers get blocked
The money is gone.
Fake Bank Account
