Got scammed via COD parcel (Shadowfax) – paid ₹460 for stones?

So this happened today morning.

I was asleep when a Shadowfax delivery guy came with a COD parcel worth ₹460. Since I often order stuff online, my mom assumed it was mine and paid for it.

When I woke up, I checked the package and realized I NEVER ordered anything like this.

The label shows:

- No proper sender name

- Generic product: “Mobile Cleaning Spray”

- Fake-looking invoice

- Only Shadowfax mentioned (logistics)

I haven’t opened the parcel yet, but after shaking it, it literally feels like it contains stones or some junk.

This looks like a clear COD scam where random packages are sent hoping someone pays.

Already tagged Shadowfax and their CEO on Twitter.

Just posting this here so others are aware:

PLEASE don’t accept COD orders unless you are 100% sure.

If anyone has faced this before or knows if refund/reverse pickup is possible, let me know.
