Swiggy User Avoids Delivery Fraud Scheme
A Swiggy customer almost got scammed by a delivery person.
The delivery person, after not picking up the order, called the customer and asked for a secret code (OTP) that lets him get the order, without actually giving the food.
The customer, realizing it was a trick, said no.
Later, the customer found out the delivery person lied to Swiggy, saying he had an accident to cover up what he did.
This made other people share their own stories of similar delivery scams.
