Mumbai, February 11, 2026 — An online alert circulating on social media and messaging platforms has warned the public about a purported mobile repair service in Bandra West that some users claim may be engaging in dishonest practices. The warning message identifies the location as being opposite Riyaz Hotel, Bandra West.
According to the posts being shared, several individuals reported dissatisfaction after mobile phones were taken for repair and later returned with alleged issues or without the agreed-upon service being completed. The messages also urge other consumers to exercise caution when choosing repair services in the area.
So far, no official statement has been issued by police or consumer protection authorities regarding this specific case. Online warnings do not necessarily mean any wrongdoing has been legally confirmed. Law enforcement agencies advise that any person who believes they have been a victim of fraud should report the matter directly to the local police station or to the Cyber Crime Cell, and preserve all relevant receipts, communication records and evidence.
Consumer experts also recommend choosing repair services that:
Provide written estimates and service agreements
Issue a bill or receipt
Have verifiable reviews or references
Clearly explain warranties or guarantees
Authorities remind the public that online alerts should be treated with caution unless confirmed by official investigation or legal action. Those with concerns can contact the Mumbai Police helpline or file complaints with consumer courts if they believe a service provider has engaged in unfair practices.
