Amazon fraud alert: Parcels arriving unordered, money being collected

An individual received an Amazon COD parcel that was not ordered by him. Initially, Amazon refused to give sender details, but later confirmed that he had been scammed.

A new type of fraud is targeting individuals in the name of online shopping platform Amazon. Scammers are sending unordered items to customers' homes and asking for payment upon delivery. The unsuspecting customers, believing that someone they know must have sent the items, end up paying. However, upon opening the parcels, they found low-value items for which they were charged a higher amount.
