In a bizarre incident in Karnataka, a software engineer from Bengaluru allegedly fell victim to a delivery scam when he received a tile instead of the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 phone, which he ordered. According to a report in NDTV, the Bengaluru techie had ordered an INR 1.87 lakh Samsung smartphone through e-commerce giant Amazon. The victim, identified as Premanand, had placed an order for a smartphone on October 14 through the Amazon app and had paid the full amount through his credit card. When he received the phone, Premanand recorded a video of unboxing the sealed package, which was delivered on October 19. However, he was taken aback when he found a piece of tile instead of the smartphone. "I had ordered a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 worth Rs 1.87 lakh, but to my shock, I received a marble stone instead of the phone just a day before Diwali," Premanand said. Later, he lodged a complaint in connection with the incident. Meanwhile, it is learnt that Amazon has refunded the full amount to Premanand.
