Shiprocket scam
My mother had ordered few things online. Since she recently learned how to do online shopping and IG, she went through a frenzy of purchasing products from ads she is seeing on IG.
Now from one the website, she placed an order which was delivered by shiprocket. Then she started getting calls for orders she thought she had placed (but didn’t, smh). The delivery boys started calling and asking for money since most of them were COD.
Then came another order. Out of nowhere. Some made up website. Some random order ID. Out for Delivery messages which she didn’t notice. Since she was out, we ended up paying the guy 1k. The order item mentioned was the old items she had purchased. The order ID was different. When we open the package, we see some odd old saree.
Please. If you have boomer parents who are as half lost as mine and going online ordering frenzy. Please ensure their money is safe and guarded.
