    Mudrex wins court order against fraudulent websites

    Mumbai: Mudrex, a global crypto investment platform has secured an order in its favor against a network of fraudulent websites that have been illegally using Mudrex’s trademarks to deceive the public. The Delhi high court under Justice Mini Puskarna issued a directive on 23 August 2024 for the immediate takedown of 38 websites that were found to be exploiting Mudrex’s brand name to carry out scams and defraud innocent individuals.

    Mudrex received numerous complaints from the public, who reported being lured into investing substantial sums of money on these fraudulent platforms. These websites promised users various work opportunities, such as completing Google reviews, and offered monetary rewards upon task completion. However, these promises were part of a broader scam designed to extract money, and sensitive personal information, including Aadhar cards, PAN cards, bank statements, and property papers, from unsuspecting victims. Once these documents were obtained, the fraudsters ceased all communication, causing significant financial loss to these innocent individuals.

    After becoming aware, Mudrex has taken proactive steps to protect its community by issuing advisories across its official social media channels and via email to its registered users, warning them of potential scams and fraudulent activities.

    Moreover, Mudrex acted promptly by seeking an injunction to halt the fraudulent activities. The company’s legal team contended that the defendants had unlawfully exploited Mudrex’s trademarks, causing significant harm to innocent individuals by luring them into investing their hard-earned money through the misuse of Mudrex’s reputation and goodwill. Driven by a commitment to provide a safe and secure environment for its users, Mudrex approached the high court of Delhi to obtain the necessary relief and protect its community.

    The court, recognising the severity of the situation and believing in Mudrex’s earnest efforts, has directed the defendants to take down the infringing websites within 48 hours of the order. If the defendants fail to comply, the court has empowered other relevant parties to block access to these websites immediately.

    Commenting on this, Mudrex CEO & co-founder Edul Patel said, “We are committed to protecting our users and upholding the integrity of our brand. Most platforms in India face this issue, but we wanted to make sure it is addressed and solved for our users. Our focus remains on maintaining the trust of our users and reinforcing our commitment to a safe and reliable platform”.

    Mudrex stands out as one of the virtual asset service providers in India to actively pursue legal action to ensure consumer protection. By taking a strong stance against fraudulent activities and safeguarding its brand integrity, Mudrex underscores its commitment to protecting its users from scams and malicious schemes. This proactive approach not only highlights Mudrex’s leadership in the industry but also sets a precedent for other service providers in prioritizing the security and trust of their consumers.

  • Now, Shaadi Mein Atyachaar on Bindaas

    Now, Shaadi Mein Atyachaar on Bindaas

    MUMBAI: With season four of Bindaas’ cult show, ‘Emotional Atyachaar’ completing 50 well-received episodes, the channel is all set to telecast a mini-series titled ‘Shaadi Mein Atyachaar – Dekho, Seekho, Bacho’ in the same time slot, starting tomorrow.  

    To be aired at 7pm every Saturday, the one-hour series will run across four episodes; taking viewers through the heart-wrenching stories of real women who’ve braved all forms of betrayal in marriage, and lived to tell the tale.

    We don_t do anything without research, says Shalini Sethi

    Bindass director programming Shalini Sethi feels that betrayal in an institution like marriage is not restricted to sexual infidelity alone but goes on to include fraud, dowry-related harassment and domestic violence among other issues. The series celebrates women who’ve fought these odds while serving as inspiration to others who might find themselves in a similar situation.

    Asked about the choice of subject, Sethi says: “We got a lot of feedback saying that in many marriages, women in particular are extremely unhappy and have been tortured. These women wanted a platform to tell their stories and inspire other women. These brave hearts in the end have stood up against society and family and spoken about it.”

    The core format of the series is the same as that of season four of Emotional Atyachaar, where the victims came and narrated their stories. It caters to the youth, especially in the 15-24 year age group, and is in sync with Bindaas’ motto of inspiring the youth to take positive action.

    Regarding the timing of the series, Sethi says: “Like the first three seasons, the fourth season of Emotional Atyachaar was a huge success. It has been our constant endeavour to candidly represent the realities of our society with sensitivity. We thought the time was right to showcase to our viewers another facet of infidelity by featuring episodes dealing with such unimaginable situations in marriages.” 

    What about research? “We don’t do anything without research. As the programming team of Bindaas, we strongly believe in research. Emotional Atyachaar absolutely does a lot of research because over the years, we have shown the viewers how real people come and talk about their experiences. Even for this special series, we had to go through different stages and research women who’ve been suppressed big time in marriage,” explains Sethi.

    Hosting the series will be Pravesh Rana, who is also the face of Emotional Atyachaar. He will be seen interacting with women who’ve successfully battled troublesome marriages.

    Will the series work for the channel? “Relationships always get wider audiences. If the shows have been done right, they will always get you much larger audiences. Bindaas as a brand always had a purpose, a message. We have always told audiences to take action and find solutions. At least, we will inspire a couple of people to think and families to wake up,” concludes Sethi.
