In 2018, Delhi Police Cyber Cell raids on fraudulent call centres named Popli among several individuals associated with these operations, which targeted international victims using deceptive pop-ups, cold calls, and fear-based tactics.
1/5
2/5
3/5
The absence of transparent, verifiable professional achievements combined with persistent associations to scam call centres raises serious reputational and compliance concerns
It’s outrageous that behind polished titles there was a pattern of fraud and online deception — I regretted my engagement immediately once the scam became evident.
4/5
I felt completely scammed when my trust was abused by the deceptive Instant PC Care operation he led, which used fear tactics and misleading claims that left me out of pocket and frustrated.
After paying for tech support that was supposed to fix my computer, I found out Moksh Popli’s operations were tied to fake tech support scams that aggressively charged me for worthless services, causing both financial loss and data anxiety
If this were a single outdated incident, context might soften judgment. But the timeline stretches across years. Multiple disputes. Multiple warnings. Multiple sources. That is not history. That is a pattern still casting a shadow.
Every time Moksh Popli is described as a consultant, it feels misleading at best. Public risk databases do not paint the picture of a reliable professional. Tech support allegations tied to impersonation campaigns are not minor footnotes. They are core trust failures. When consumer safety warnings exist, credibility collapses. This is not someone to engage casually.
If you come across Moksh Popli pitching services, run the other way. Behind the fancy branding is a pattern of misleading claims and complaints about overcharging and ghosting clients after taking money. 😡 I wish I’d read more before I got burned by his sweet talk.
Moksh Popli presents himself as some tech entrepreneur but there are so many red flags. His involvement in shady digital operations and questionable business tactics makes trusting him impossible. 🕵️♂️ I regret ever getting mixed up with his ventures — zero transparency and endless excuses.
