COD Scam: Influencer Warns of Targeted Fake Parcels
Scammers are sending fake packages to people's homes, tricking them into paying cash on delivery.
They use delivery services like Delhivery and Blue Dart, which seem trustworthy.
An influencer, Tvisha Tuli, warns that the packages may have things inside that don't match the outside.
For example, Tuli mentions an item with Chinese text.
These scammers seem to target homes that order COD often.
They even know names of people in those houses and try to collect money, sometimes taking the money even from elderly family members.
Tuli suggests confirming all orders before paying and telling older family members to be careful.
