This looks like a classic pyramid/multi-level marketing (MLM) scam disguised as a "vendor registration" or "SPN" (possibly "Service Provider Network" or similar) affiliate/reseller program.
Why this is almost certainly a scam:
- You have to pay money upfront to join
- Vendor registration payout? That doesn't make sense in legitimate programs. Normally, platforms pay you or charge nothing to list products.
- ₹ 500.00 registration fee + ₹25.00 per product SKU (and listing not even included?) → They make money from sign-up fees, not from actual sales.
- Heavy focus on recruitment (referrals), not product sales
- SPN to SPN referral: ₹ 1000.00 per person
- If your referral brings in 500+ vendors → you get ₹5000 bonus
This is the hallmark of a pyramid scheme: earnings come mainly from recruiting new members who pay fees, not from selling real products/services. Eventually it collapses when no new people join.
- Unrealistic or vague earnings with no real business model
Legitimate platforms (like Amazon Seller, Meesho reselling, Flipkart affiliate) never charge you to join as a seller and never pay huge amounts just for referrals without actual sales volume.
- The website https://indiabuyon.in/
- Appears brand new or empty (no proper content, reviews, or traffic).
- Zero mentions anywhere on Google, social media, or complaint forums (as of Nov 2025). Legitimate Indian e-commerce/affiliate sites have thousands of reviews.
- No company details, address, GST number, or proper terms visible = huge red flag.
- 15-day payment period
Common excuse in scams to delay or never pay out while collecting more registration fees.
What will probably happen if you join:
- You pay ₹500 + product fees.
- You refer a few people → maybe they pay you small amounts at first (using money from new victims) to build trust.
- Then payments stop, website disappears, or they ask for "activation fees", "tax", or "upgrade" to withdraw money.
- You lose your money and waste time.
Advice:
- Do NOT pay any money or share bank/KYC details.
- If someone sent you this via WhatsApp/Telegram, block and report them.
- Real ways to earn as a reseller/vendor in India (no upfront fees): Meesho, GlowRoad, Shop101, Amazon Seller Central (free to register), Flipkart Seller Hub.
If you already paid something, immediately file a cybercrime complaint at https://cybercrime.gov.in and try chargeback via your bank.
Stay safe — any program that makes big money mainly from recruiting others is illegal in India under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act.
