He is only 22 years old. Honors final year student of Sociology Department of Dhaka University (DU). At this age, the company has 100 crore Taka, opened  just seven months by attracting buyers in flashy advertisements. In the beginning, he used the former and current students of DU in this work. Later, the company's activities spread across the country. Millions of buyers are no longer offering products with orders. Even the office has closed. The call center is also closed, no one is holding the phone. The name of the company that spread the net of fraud across the country is e-commerce platform 'Aladinerprodip.com'. Even though the owner of the company Mehedi Hasan Moon Aladdin got the lamp in his hand, the buyers who are waiting for the product with money are crying.

An attempt was made to contact Mehdi Hassan Moon, CEO of 'Aladinerprodip.com, but he could not be reached. Phone is available off. He wrote complaints and questions on Facebook but did not reply. He cut off repeated calls on WhatsApp. After that he wrote the question and sent it but did not give any answer. Aladdin's Facebook page did not match the answer to the question.

'aladinerprodip.com started its journey as an online shop without registration in early August last year. The company registered this year. Although the business was started on the initiative of six people with an investment of only two and a half lakh taka, five people were left out soon after. Mehedi Hasan Moon is the CEO of the company. DU was used as the address. Dhabian used to recruit buyers through a group called Business Community (DBC). 'aladinerprodip.com gained confidence by selling various cheap products on time. The company started giving flashy advertisements from the beginning of this year. Huge discounts are also offered on various products. After that people stumbled and started ordering. The first few points of the ad advertisement attracted about a million buyers. The company spread across the country.

Ordinary people are attracted to various glamorous advertisements like delivery for one taka, the country's first student-based e-commerce platform. From last January to June, there were around one lakh orders in three offers. In the last June offer, more than 61,000 buyers ordered various products from 'Aladinerprodip.com. The last three offers were mostly expensive products including motorcycles, refrigerators, mobile phones. After that, the character of Aladdin's lamp began to change. Communication with buyers is kept off. Even closed call centers. People who try to communicate more and more are blocked from their Facebook groups and pages. There are many such complaints.

The company does not have a permanent office in Dhaka even though it does business on a huge platform. The only address was Dhaka University. The office address mentioned on the website has been found closed. Earlier, the company's CEO Moon claimed that they have four offices, all in Sirajganj.

Talking to an official of Aladinerprodip.com, it was learned that the goods were not delivered against the orders of around one lakh. Its estimated value is more than 100 crore Taka. The office was closed after taking the orders. A few former officials of the company said Mehdi Hassan Moon took money from buyers and invested in other businesses. Protesting against this, other entrepreneurs were left out one by one. One of the founders of the company said that the goal was to gain confidence from the beginning. Since then, Moon wants to start a business in Pyramid Circle. That means doubling sales every week. Entrepreneurs have been left out one by one for opposing business policies. He added that Moon had started withdrawing money from Aladdin's lamp since the beginning of this year. Builds another organization. They are managed by his relatives.

According to the investigation, Moon has launched several companies in the last one and a half years. He is investing in various partnership businesses. Bought land too. He has several businesses including Dreamers Telecom, Mindibd IT Care, Vivo Exclusive Showroom, Multibrand Mobile Plaza. Besides buying land in Sirajganj, he has also started trading business in Dhaka. Locals say Moon's father died about 20 years ago. After that his mother raised him with great difficulty.

Aladinerprodip.com has more than two and a half thousand orders among former and current students of DU alone. One of them is Shoaibul Islam. He said he ordered a bike and a mobile phone. It was supposed to be given in the last week of July. But since then no one from Aladinerprodip.com has been answering the phone. Can't communicate by any means. Riazul has been ill for some time. Crisis of medical money. He had ordered goods worth around Rs 1.5 lakh. But he did not get the product even after the specified time. Even though he applied for a refund, Aladinerprodip.com is no longer on the phone.

The most miserable situation is the large number of ordinary people who have ordered in this online shop from different parts of the country. As there is no office in the capital, they are not able to communicate with the company in any way. Calling customer care but no one is receiving. One such person is Abdul Motaleb, a school teacher by profession. Motaleb, a resident of Narayanganj, was inspired by the words of a student and ordered a motorcycle. But he did not get it even after a long effort.

Rafiqul Islam, a student of Kabi Nazrul College, had ordered around Tk 4.5 lakh to buy various necessities for the family. Now he sees flowers in his eyes, his family members are also saying harsh words. Many people are reacting angrily to the company on Facebook. There are various reports of cheating.
