Confused? Let me explain.
OTP Delivery Scam
As the internet and technology are becoming easily accessible, the volumes of online orders are also surging. However, frauds and scammers have developed a new way to exploit us and pay for items that we didn’t order.
What happens is that a man might come to your doorstep posing as a delivery agent from a renowned e-commerce company to apparently deliver a package and make you forcefully pay for it.
It is understood that the package doesn’t belong to you, you won’t pay for it. However, these scammers refuse to leave. In case you refuse to pay, they’ll askl the OTP that you have received for give them ratings.
However, once you tell them the OTP, these scammers get access to your banking details and debit or credit card details.
Another way the scam is executed is that they’ll cancel the package but won’t leave until you give them the OTP. The same thing as mentioned above happens when you share the OTP with them.
