⚠ IMPORTANT CAUTIONARY NOTICE

Beware of Fraudulent Calls, Messages, and Payment Requests

www.arenasport.in is the only official arena® website in India . The Website is operated bySportiff India Private Limited (“SIPL”), the sole and exclusive authorised distributor in India for arena® branded swimwear, racing suits, jammers, training gear, and equipment, appointed by arena S.p.A., Italy.

Any other website, social-media handle, marketplace listing, reseller, dealer, or individual claiming to be an “official” arena® channel in India is not authorised by arena S.p.A. or by SIPL. Authenticity of products, warranty support, after-sales service, and refunds can be assured only for purchases made on www.arenasport.in or from SIPL’s authorised retail channels.

Verify Our Authorisation Directly with arena S.p.A., Italy

You can independently verify that SIPL is the authorised distributor for arena® in India by visiting arena’s official global corporate website and reviewing the published list of worldwide official distributors:

https://about.arenasport.com/en/official-distributors/#_ASIA

Under the “ASIA → INDIA” section of that page, arena S.p.A. lists “SPORTIFF INDIA PVT. LTD., 76 Mirza Ghalib Marg, Clare Road, Byculla, 400 008 Mumbai – Maharashtra | INDIA” as its official distributor for India. This is the same entity that operates www.arenasport.in.

Beware of Impersonation Fraud

It has come to our attention that certain miscreants are impersonating staff of SIPL and contacting our customers under false pretences. Such miscreants typically misrepresent that the customer’s arena® order will be cancelled unless an immediate payment is made through a QR code or other unofficial channel shared by them, and in some cases threaten urgent action such as cancellation, blocking of refund, or non-delivery of orders.

We urge all our customers to remain vigilant . SIPL will never contact you to demand payment outside the official arenasport.in checkout and authorised payment gateways.

What SIPL Will Never Do

  • ✓ Request payments via QR codes, UPI “collect” requests, screen-share apps (such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, QuickSupport), unofficial links, or any third-party channel.
  • ✓ Insist on urgency for payments, or claim that your order will be cancelled, blocked, or seized unless you pay immediately.
  • ✓ Ask for your OTP, CVV, card PIN, internet-banking password, UPI PIN, or full card numberover a phone call, SMS, WhatsApp, email, or any other channel — ever. Our staff, payment partners, and couriers do not need this information.
  • ✓ Send payment links from personal numbers, Gmail / Yahoo / personal email IDs, or any domain other than
  • ✓ Initiate refunds requiring you to download an app, scan a QR code, or enter card or banking credentials anywhere outside the original payment instrument used for your order.

All legitimate transactions are processed only through our official website www.arenasport.in using authorised, RBI-regulated payment gateways. Refunds, where applicable, are credited only to the original payment instrument used for the order — not via QR code, UPI collect, or any external link.

Please Stay Alert

Do

  • ✓ Verify any communication claiming to be from SIPL or arena® only through the contact details published on our official website www.arenasport.in.
  • ✓ Check the sender’s email domain carefully — official communications come only from@arenasport.in (or such other official domain as may be notified on the Site).
  • ✓ Track your order status only through “My Account” on our official website www.arenasport.in or via the tracking link sent by us.
  • ✓ Report any suspicious call, message, or email to us immediately (see “Report Fraud” below).

Do Not

  • ✕ Do not respond to suspicious messages, emails, or phone calls claiming to represent SIPL, arena®, or arenasport.in.
  • ✕ Do not click on unknown links or scan QR codes received from unverified sources, including WhatsApp forwards.
  • ✕ Do not scan or make payments through any QR code, UPI collect request, or link shared outside the arenasport.in checkout.

  • ✕ Do not download any remote-access or screen-sharing application at the request of anyone claiming to be from SIPL, the courier company, a payment gateway, or a bank.
