Delhi lawyer’s Amazon iPhone 15 delivery turns nightmare: ‘Staring at ₹38,000 loss, possible scam’ | Trending
A Delhi-based lawyer took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his nightmarish experience with an Amazon delivery agent after placing an online order for an iPhone 15 recently. Mukund P Unny, an advocate on record in the Supreme Court, said he ordered an iPhone 15 on Amazon in exchange for his iPhone 13 in July. The next day, a delivery executive arrived at night with the new phone. As is the procedure, Unny shared the OTP with the man, gave his iPhone 13 in exchange for the new phone brought the delivery agent. iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max cashback offers have caused much heartburn.(REUTERS) At this point, things took a turn. “He said I have give another OTP. I had already given the OTP and was wondering what other OTP is to be given for exchange,” Unny said in a thread on X, adding that he told the delivery agent that he did not have another OTP with him to share. The man at the door, the lawyer said, stayed there for a few minutes before calling his supervisor. After speaking with the supervisor, the delivery executive asked the lawyer to return of the new iPhone 15 since, according to him, the “exchange was not final”. “I insed that I speak with the supervisor. The supervisor tells me that the exchange is done a different team and requests for the product to be returned,” Mukund P Unny said. The Delhi-based customer told the man on the phone that he will not give the new phone back to the delivery agent since he had an OTP with him and also because the Amazon app showed the the new iPhone was delivered. “But this supervisor Ashok requested me to return, lest his team will have to make for the loss,” Unny said. Hearing this and after being told that the delivery of the new phone will be “reattempted” the next day, Unny returned the new phone to the delivery agent. The next day, Unny was told the Amazon customer care to wait till the end of the month as the incident was being investigated. On Thursday, he received a call from the delivery giant saying that the refund could not be initiated. “No fact-finding was done Amazon in this. Now, we are staring at a loss of Rs. 38000 and a possible scam done supervisor, delivery executive and others at Amazon,” he said.
