Fake Maid Agency Dupes Newlywed Couple in Sector 67, Gurgaon
📍 Location: B-9834A, Garden Nova Heights, Sector 67, Gurgaon
🎬 Realistic Setup
Newlywed couple Neelansh Pravind (freelance animator) aur Myra Pravind (interior designer) ne Gurgaon ke Garden Nova Heights ke fresh-posh flat B-9834A mein apni nayi zindagi ki shuruaat ki. Shaadi ke just 3 weeks baad hi dono work-from-home projects mein busy ho gaye, aur tab zarurat padi ek full-time maid ki.
Dono ne UrbanListing, Quikr-type listing portals par search kiya aur ek “certified and verified” agency ka ad mila: ShubhaGrih Maid Solutions – Owner: Prashvik Antra. Website sahi thi, reviews acchhe lag rahe the, aur baat-cheet bhi polished thi.
💥 Main Conflict
Prashvik ne promise kiya ki “Ek trained, background-verified, 6am to 6pm maid – Vilasha Konnur – aapke ghar 1st July se reporting karegi.”
Condition?
“₹9,000 registration fee + 1-month maid salary upfront, total ₹21,000 – before deployment.”
Neelansh ne payment kiya. Usi din e-contract aur WhatsApp se maid ka ID card bhi aa gaya.
1st July aayi… maid nahi aayi. 2nd July… again no show. 3rd ko Prashvik ka phone switch off.
😲 Gossip Ka Masala
Society ke WhatsApp group mein Myra ne casually poocha,
“Kya kisi ne ShubhaGrih Maid Solutions se maid li hai?”
3 replies aaye within 5 minutes:
– “OMG! Hum bhi same agency ke chakkar mein ₹18,000 gava baithe.”
– “Woh Prashvik ka asli naam bhi nahi lagta.”
– “Usne mujhe bhi Vilasha naam ki maid ka ID bheja tha… but woh kabhi aayi hi nahi!”
Same maid name, same ID image, alag-alag flats. Scam ka template!
🧩 Event-by-Event Drama
Scene 1 – The Polished Pitch
Prashvik ne Zoom pe call bhi kiya tha! Proper English, corporate vibe, promise of maid insurance, background check, even 1 free replacement within 30 days.
Unhone bola,
“Madam, hum Delhi NCR mein top-rated hain. Yeh fee sirf serious clients ke liye hai.”
Scene 2 – The Disappearing Act
Payment ke baad ek automated email aaya:
“Welcome to ShubhaGrih Family – Your assigned maid Vilasha will report shortly.”
Uske baad silence. Phone calls unanswered. WhatsApp blue tick tak nahi.
Myra ne email kiya – bounced. Website bhi 5 din baad “Under Maintenance” ho gayi.
Scene 3 – Tracing the Ghost
Neelansh ne Prashvik ka Aadhaar verify karne ki koshish ki – ID fake nikla.
Building manager Mr. Nalin bola,
“Aise 3 complaints aur aa chuki hain last 6 months mein – sab alag-alag agency names ke under.”
🔀 Tension Point / Twist
Society ke ek retired ACP uncle ne kaha,
“Yeh maid agency scams Gurgaon mein organized level pe ho rahe hain. Same chehra, alag naam, multiple phone numbers.”
Neelansh FIR likhwaane gaya… Police ne pehle bola “Cyber cell ka matter hai”, phir cyber ne kaha “Proof chahiye”.
Aakhri mein complaint lodge toh ho gayi, par paisa wapas milega ya nahi – no clue.
Maid Agency Took ₹21,000 from Gurgaon Couple and Vanished Without Sending Maid
Newly married Neelansh and Myra Pravind, living in Garden Nova Heights, Sector 67, Gurgaon, were tricked by a fake maid agency—‘ShubhaGrih Maid Solutions’. After paying ₹21,000 as registration and advance salary for a full-time maid named Vilasha Konnur, the maid never showed up. The agency’s contact ‘Prashvik Antra’ blocked them, the website vanished, and later they learned the same scam had happened to others in the same society.
❓ FAQs Based on This Story-Only Scam
Q1. I paid ₹18,000 to a maid agency called ‘ShubhaGrih’ in Malviya Nagar, Delhi, but no maid showed up. What should I do now?
A: You’re not alone. A 29-year-old designer named Priyanshi Vadera from Malviya Nagar also got duped similarly—same maid name, same ID sent, but no one turned up. First, lodge a cyber complaint at cybercrime.gov.in, and try retrieving transaction details from your bank to attach with your FIR. Don’t delay.
Q2. Can I get a refund from a fake maid agency if I paid via UPI in Lajpat Nagar?
A: Karthik Josan (32 yrs, event manager from Lajpat Nagar) paid through GPay to the same ‘ShubhaGrih’ agency. Since the UPI ID was a private number and not business verified, the refund chances are low. He submitted a complaint to the cyber cell, but it’s under process. Keep your UPI screenshots safe and raise a dispute with your bank.
Q3. My sister in Karol Bagh trusted an online maid agency based on Zoom call and website—how can we verify next time?
A: Anita Tharoor (37 yrs, Karol Bagh) also fell for this type of polished fraud. The next time, avoid agencies without local office visits. Check MCA registration of the agency or visit local domestic worker cooperatives. Verified website alone is no proof.
Q4. The maid agency gave us a maid ID card and a contract over WhatsApp in Saket. Is that legally valid?
A: No. As Mohan Talpade (42 yrs, Saket) found out, WhatsApp contracts and ID cards can be easily forged. Without a notarized contract or real background check, none of it holds in court. His maid never arrived either, and the ID was reused for 3 different clients.
Q5. In Mayur Vihar, we received the same maid ID with name ‘Vilasha Konnur’ sent to others. Is this a cloned scam?
A: Exactly. Sulekha Narayan (28 yrs, Mayur Vihar Phase-1) received the same ‘Vilasha’ ID that others in Noida, Gurgaon, and Dwarka had seen. The scam involves sending the same maid profile to many homes and collecting advance fees. It’s a copy-paste con.
Q6. How do I file a proper police complaint in Defence Colony for maid fraud if I don’t know the scammer’s real name?
A: Even without a real name, like in Abhinav Bector’s (40 yrs, Defence Colony) case, file an FIR based on the mobile number, bank account/UPI details, and agency name. Mention that the name may be fake. Attach screenshots, call logs, and website details.
Q7. Are there signs that the maid agency in Dwarka I contacted might be fake like this ShubhaGrih one?
A: Yes. Tanya Sahni (35 yrs, Dwarka Sec 12) noticed these red flags: 1) Pressure to pay before maid visit, 2) Over-professional website with stock images, 3) No physical office address. All matched ShubhaGrih’s scam pattern. If these signs are there, stay away.
Q8. My cousin in Rohini got a call from someone named Prashvik claiming to offer guaranteed maid service. Is that the same guy?
A: Possibly. Aarav Kohli (33 yrs, Rohini) was also approached by ‘Prashvik’ who offered 1-month replacement guarantee and sent a similar ‘Welcome to ShubhaGrih’ email. If maid never arrives post payment, it’s the same fraud ring. Block and report immediately.
Q9. I want to warn my society in Vasant Kunj about this maid scam. What’s the best way?
A: Shibani Rao (38 yrs, Vasant Kunj) posted a detailed warning on the society WhatsApp group with screenshots of the fake ID, Zoom screenshots, and bank proof. Within 1 day, two more residents confirmed they were almost duped. Community alerts work—do it.
Q10. How long does cyber cell in East Delhi take to respond to maid agency fraud complaints?
A: Piyush Mandal (34 yrs, Preet Vihar) lodged a cyber complaint against ShubhaGrih. It took 12 days for the local cyber cell to call him back. These cases are slow unless the money trail is clear. Submit clear documentation and follow up weekly.
❓ Open Trigger / Confusion
Aaj ke time mein kya “verified agency” sirf ek website aur Zoom call se proof ho jaati hai?
Kya har naye couple ko maid lene se pehle poora legal due diligence karna padega?
Kya Prashvik aur Vilasha dono fake the… ya sirf front thi kisi aur scammer ki?
Agar aap Neelansh aur Myra ki jagah hote, kya karta?
Comment karke batayein – aur dusron ko bhi warn karein!
