🚨 Beware I want to bring attention to an ongoing scam that I recently encountered. I'm not certain if Amazon is directly involved, but here’s what happened: Incident Date & Time: 14th July 2024, around 11:30 AM Details: I received a Cash on Delivery (COD) order in my sister’s name. As she was not home at the time, I assumed she had placed the order and paid ₹499. Upon her return, we opened the package only to find a black colour saree – an item she never ordered. We double-checked all our Amazon accounts, confirming no such order was placed from any of them. It became clear that this was a scam. It's not just about the money lost, but the audacity of these scammers stealing from the public so blatantly. Please stay vigilant and always double-check the details before accepting COD orders. If anyone from Amazon is reading this, please look into this incident. #ScamAlert #Amazon #ConsumerSafety #StayVigilant #ProtectConsumers
