Two Arrested in Mumbai for Amazon Mobile Refund Fraud

Two Arrested in Mumbai for Amazon Mobile Refund Fraud
Mumbai Crime: 2 Arrested For Allegedly Defrauding Amazon And Customers By Replacing Original Mobiles With Fake Phones · freepressjournal.in

Two men in Mumbai are in trouble with the police for a tricky trick called a refund scam.

When people buy phones online, sellers send the real phones to a big warehouse.

The two men allegedly took real, expensive phones and swapped them for cheap fake ones.

Then they returned the fake phones and asked for their money back.

The company, Amazon, gave them a full refund for the real phones.

But other customers ended up receiving the fake phones instead of real ones.

The shop that sent the phones lost a lot of money, almost 20 lakh rupees.

The police arrested the two men and found four of the ten missing phones.

They also found out who has the other six phones.

Now the police are still investigating the case.
