in money •  6 years ago  (edited)

This is a New Type Of Scam Which Sellers are doing not the buyers. . .

WDD 1.5 TB Hard Disk At Just 1500/- INR 😍 Waao Seems Real Loot Deal !
But Stop ✋🏻
  This is a trap...💥
Not By Amazon Or Flipkart But By The Seller....

👉🏻Story Begins Here :

Buyer Came To Know about this deal while surfing the website and instantly without wasting any time he/she orders the product by choosing payment mode as COD (Cash On Delivery).

2-3 Days Later He/she Receives Courier , Pays The Courier Guy in cash as order was on COD.

Now When He/she opens the packet , he/she is shocked 😮 to see this Old Tampered 40 GB HDD 


Buyer now opens his/her Amazon Account and checks "My Orders" web-page and is surprised to see that order was cancelled by seller after 1 day and he/she did not notice the same and even he/she got sms/email for the same from amazon which he did not check...

Do You Know , Why And How This Happened ? 🤔

  1. Buyer Placed Order on COD (Cash On Delivery)
    (Now This is where buyer has given golden chance to seller !)
  2. Seller Got Details of buyer.
  3. Seller played a game here to scam buyer for money.
  4. Seller Cancels the order on amazon (Stating Any Reason Like Stock Unavailable/Pin Code Not Servicable).
  5. Buyer did not notice it.
  6. Seller dispatched fake product personally on COD mode using personal courier service at his end.
  7. This order has no relation with original order placed on Amazon.
  8. Buyer Receives courier and courier guy also never allows you to open parcel before you pay him.
  9. Buyer makes payment and Scam Completed....🙁
    Amazon Cannot Help you because the order was already cancelled at their portal.. 

⚠ Please Note : Also Sometimes it may happen that you are not at home and your family member makes payment for a COD order thinking you have ordered it.. So Right Now Go and tell your Family members that never accept any COD order without your concern, It may be a Scam !
