A shocking case has come to light in Bengaluru, where a software engineer was sent a piece of tile instead of an expensive mobile phone ordered online. The victim has been identified as Premanand, a senior technical expert. He had purchased Samsung Z Fold smartphone worth Rs 1.85 lakh from Amazon app during Diwali sale.
The victim paid the entire amount through credit card and got the delivery on the scheduled date. When he opened the package he was shocked. Actually, there was not a phone inside, but a piece of tile. Premanand told that the weight of the tile was equal to that of a phone, so he had no doubts while taking the package.
The victim complained through video evidence
He wisely recorded the entire video while opening the delivery box, which has now proved to be a strong evidence in his favor. Efforts to contact the delivery boy failed, following which he lodged a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP).
Premanand handed over the video recording and all the documents related to the purchase to the police. Also, on October 19, he complained to Amazon Customer Care, after which the company refunded his entire amount.
Police engaged in fraud investigation
Kumar Swami Layout Police Station has registered the case and started investigation. Police are trying to find out where the fraud took place in the delivery chain. Was this conspiracy hatched in the warehouse or was this online fraud done in transit or at the local level.
