Beware of any unsolicited courier news

/

The most recent scamming incidents have erupted from fake courier consignments or shipments. The most notable name in the scam is FedEx. A similar fraud was bound to happen with me had I not acted cautiously. About 15 days ago, I got a call from an unknown contact portraying to be manager from FedEx. He reported that a consignment sent by me is refused to be delivered to consignee because of some illegal content apprehended in sent courier. I was advised to speak with the customer care representative for further elaboration. So being stressed about likelihood of becoming a legal defaulter, I was about to reach the customer care by adhering the IVR instruction. That fear of becoming a defaulter and the press of that one customer care number would actually have made a victim rather than an offender. I took a minute and thought if I had ever: The answer was known only to me. And it was a big no. I disconnected the call and blocked the contact. Similar actions are being taken on WhatsApp and through emails carrying invitations and links. Here I would request all to take help of the savior platform like myajuna.com that carries out all verification as to whether the link leads to a genuine business or not. Source: Personal experience

The victim, an assistant Professor, upon becoming jobless searched online jobs and eventually fell in the trap of a WhatsApp scammer. The Philippines based fraudster offered trading work with a fictitious Flipkart Merchant that is far away from reality. Being convinced by the heavy-duty name Flipkart which was the victim’s preferred shopping app, victim started doing whatever was told by scammer. Like she made few commission-based purchases and was lured by quick payouts upto Rs.500 but the problem occurred when the victim reached levels ranging from 1 to 4 and reverse payment was made subject to completing the final level requiring remaining 1% equalling Rs. 100000 additional purchase. So completing the 1% equivalent to 1 lakh appeared to be fishy to the victim. Completing purchases till 99% amounting to 70000, the remaining massive 1% became the bone of contention. The scammer emphasised on finishing the last 1% to become eligible for payback. This struck the wrong cord and victim got assured that she has lost all money not to Flipkart but to a WhatsApp scam. Acting in good faith might be fundamental for us but being surrounded by a sea filled with spamming sharks adds another responsibility on shoulders.
