The same can happen with cash as well, just take the cash, then say I didn't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerY2J Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) He is not fooling me. And I NEVER SAID THAT. And never blamed the app. Only relation to the previous thing was : majority vendors are unaware of it,otherwise no other inference, its just an incident of misunderstanding and I feeling guilty and he feeling losing money. He is unaware of the app and didn't understand what I was saying the whole time about Paytm. He accepted that he misunderstood. Also, at the end he was as like : aaye to achaa hai nahi aaye to bi chal jaega. He felt like he was conned. I told him to get it checked with his son from his son's smartphone. I feel like going back tomorrow and paying him again with cash if he isn't able to figure it out.

But, at times it is so frustrating even with tech savvy people who do not know that Google Pay id, Amazon pay id, phone pe id, et al. are their UPI id issued by that payment interface. I have asked many people for their UPI id and they proceed to say that they do not have an UPI id but they do have a Google Pay id. To prevent companies from locking people in to using only their app, we also need to educate people about different processors and the fact that they can link their bank account to multiple UPI processors. Edited September 12, 2020 by silica P.S: I am not blaming any software, but we have to do what we can to educate people as you mentioned.

Not everyone has multiple UPI apps right, even those who aren't tech savy will have just or two at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only one UPI app. But, we have educate people that they are not locked into one app and that they can stop using Paytm UPI and move over to XYZ UPI app or another UPI app. Many companies are advertising their app as a different payment interface platform from other companies; when they are all utilising the same underlying payment interface.

I had only INR 300 cash on me. I went there, stayed for 3 days, travelled, had street food as well and came back to Mumbai with INR 250 in my wallet. These are just excuses to be irresponsible. Besides no one is saying just stop using cash. If its unavoidable use it. But using loopholes to get Cash on Delivery from online shopping portals is just a dick move. If someone wants to be irresponsible, they'll find 100 excuses and justifications to continue their behavior all of them wrong. @adity @Snake was just responding to post regarding educating people about how they can use multiple UPI apps and not be locked into only one app. He is not defending irresponsible behaviour by people. Honestly, if not for the current situation I would still be using cash over digital payments. I prefer having anonymity regarding any purchases I make.

I regulary have to hear taunts from my mom for keeping only 100 or zero rs in wallet. But why would i ? Almost everyone now accepts upi. If they dont an ATM is almost nearby, and if not il just skip it . 34 minutes ago, dylanjosh said: I wish everyone would move to digital just for the sole reason i dont want to f**king deal with "chutta de do na" such a pain in the a*s Man this sucks so much. I mean the guy would just say "Chutta nae he" and then just look at me, like bhai toh kya karna he wo toh batao?? Coming to frauds this happens with almost everything. I have seen even educated people falling to it. I mean its simple, when you are on the receiving end you dont have to enter OTP or scan any code! One simple rule and your safe from 99% of scams. if you cant do that nothing and nobody can help. Youll be scammed one way or other. 21 minutes ago, Big Boss said: Bhai this is 12 hour old post.
