Noorul Ameen, a resident of Aluva, had placed the order for the mobile phone worth Rs 70,900 on Amazon on October 12. He made the payment using his Amazon Pay card, The New Indian Express reported.

He received the consignment on October 15. As he was aware of the rise in online fraud cases, he decided to make an ¡®unboxing¡¯ video in front of the delivery boy, only to find one Vim dishwash bar and a Rs 5 coin inside the package.

Ameen filed a complaint with the Cyber Police Station and a case was registered. The police started the investigation using the IMEI number on the phone's cover. Through that it was revealed that the phone that Noorul was supposed to receive was being used by someone in Jharkhand since September.

¡°We contacted the Amazon authorities and the Telangana-based seller. The phone has been in use in Jharkhand since September 25 this year, even though the order was placed only in October," an investigating officer told TNIE.

Ameen received a refund of the amount he paid.
