Fake Flipkart delivery man tries to scam customer of iPhone 15, internet share similar stories

A Bengaluru homeowner said that a man disguised as a Flipkart delivery boy tried to hand over a parcel, claiming it was the iPhone 15 he had ordered. The resident claimed that the man forced him to accept the item but fled when he began recording him. The man wrote to Reddit to say that his sister had ordered an iPhone 15 with 256GB of storage and paid for it in advance. He stated that he had selected open-box delivery, which allows the consumer to open a sealed delivery box and see its contents before accepting the package.

This option is frequently provided by online marketplaces such as Amazon and Flipkart when shipping high-end products to ensure that defective or duplicate goods do not reach the client.

"My sister bought an iPhone 15 with VIP on Flipkart sale, it was an open box delivery. This loser (the guy in white) came with a big package to deliver claiming that he can't do open box," he wrote in the post.

The man said that the delivery boy refused to allow him to open the box and attempted to force him to accept it as is. He stated that he had begun filming the entire conversation as evidence that he was not permitted to check the contents of the package. "I taped the entire interaction. He was afraid. "I did not accept the package," he explained.
