The Independent Fact-Check They Don't Want You To Read
If you searched for "Lunar Astro Scam," you likely saw a page from consultlunarastro.com claiming that they are 100% legit and that angry customers simply have an "expectation gap." This is a known PR tactic called Keyword Hijacking. They wrote an article about themselves being a scam so they could control the narrative.
We are an independent consumer watchdog. Here is the actual truth, backed by forensic evidence and suppressed consumer complaints.
Lunar Astro's Claim: "It's not a scam. People just expect Deepanshu Giri, but our website says it's a panel."
Our Verdict: FALSE / DECEPTIVE MARKETING
The Truth: Using a famous founder's face on YouTube to sell high-ticket services (₹8,000 - ₹50,000), only to bury in the fine print that the service will be delivered by a junior student, is the legal definition of a Bait-and-Switch. Victims report being handed off to "Code 5007," an unqualified proxy who provides vague, copy-pasted answers. Read the full Code 5007 investigation here.
Lunar Astro's Claim: "We have thousands of genuine 5-star reviews and don't hide negative feedback."
Our Verdict: FALSE / ASTROTURFING
The Truth: Lunar Astro employs a PR troll farm to flood Quora, Reddit, and Medium with fake accounts. When real victims post complaints on MouthShut or Trustpilot, they are threatened with "black magic" and "Cyber Cell tracking" to force them to delete their reviews.

Beyond financial scams, Lunar Astro is currently being reported to the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) for violating the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act, 1954.
