A massive financial scam has emerged in Delhi involving Dallas Ecom Infotech Pvt. Ltd., accused of defrauding over ₹3,000 crore from thousands of investors by selling fake delivery service franchises under the name “Ecom Delivery.” Victims gathered at Jantar Mantar demanding urgent CBI and ED intervention, arrest of the accused, and forensic seizure of fraud-linked assets.
The Scam: 950+ Fake Franchises Sold, ₹1.5–₹32.5 Lakh Collected Per Investor
A shocking new scam has rocked Delhi’s financial landscape. Dallas Ecom Infotech Pvt. Ltd., operating under the brand name Ecom Delivery, is alleged to have defrauded more than ₹3,000 crore from over 2,000 families by selling fake delivery service franchises.
According to victims, the company promised lucrative returns, exclusive delivery zones, and technical support for those who bought franchise rights across state, zonal, district, and pin-code levels. The investment per franchisee ranged from ₹1.5 lakh to ₹32.5 lakh. Once funds were collected from over 950 investors, the company’s Delhi and Mumbai offices were abruptly shut down, all contact numbers were deactivated, and key officials vanished, leaving franchisees in financial ruin.
Victims Stage Protest at Jantar Mantar, Demand CBI & ED Investigation
On May 3, victims of the scam organized a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, demanding swift justice. Led by Vishal Swain, himself a victim, the group submitted a memorandum to the President, Prime Minister, and Home Minister, urging for:
-
CBI and ED probe into the scam
-
Immediate arrest of the company’s promoters and directors
-
Forensic audit of all related bank accounts
-
Seizure of assets purchased with investors’ funds
-
Creation of a compensation and recovery framework for the defrauded families
-
Implementation of regulatory oversight in private franchise and delivery sectors
The victims fear that without swift action, more such frauds will occur, given the ease with which perpetrators form shell companies, raise funds, and disappear.
Repeat Offenders? Victims Allege Core Team Behind Previous Scams Like RoadEx and Just Delivery
According to several victims, this is not the first time the scamsters have executed such a fraud. They claim that the same individuals have operated under different company names like RoadEx and Just Delivery in the past. Each time, a new company is floated with fake directors, runs briefly under a glossy business model, collects large sums from investors, and then shuts down operations suddenly.
For example, an individual who operated as Aman Gupta in RoadEx is now allegedly using the identity Adarsh Mishra in the Ecom Delivery scam. This pattern, they say, points to a sophisticated fraud network operating with impunity due to lack of regulatory scrutiny. Victims say this case is no longer just a financial crime but a matter of national concern, requiring high-level intervention to dismantle the racket, punish the guilty, and prevent recurrence.
The Ecom Delivery franchise scam reflects a dangerous loophole in India’s regulatory framework — where fraudulent franchise models, often operating under shell companies, exploit investors with impunity. Without stringent verification, tracking of repeat offenders, and stronger audit mechanisms, such scams could become even more frequent.
With over ₹3,000 crore reportedly siphoned off and more than 2,000 families affected, urgent government intervention is not just warranted — it is essential.
