Amazon delivery boy in Delhi tells customer his order was cancelled, sells off phone

An Amazon delivery boy in Delhi has been arrested for duping a customer while he was delivering a mobile phone purchased on the e-commerce site. Instead of delivering the mobile phone, the 22-year-old delivery boy said the order has been cancelled and kept it with him.

The mobile phone was later recovered by police from another man to whom the accused had sold the phone in return of cash.

On Monday, Delhi Police received a complaint against a delivery boy who works for Amazon. The complainant alleged that a delivery boy came to his house at Kidwai Nagar on October 1 to deliver a mobile phone he had ordered from Amazon.

The delivery boy told the customer that his order has been cancelled and he will receive a refund soon. When this was checked on the Amazon site, it said the mobile phone was delivered to the customer.

When the complainant contacted Amazon seeking refund of the amount, the company told him that their inquiry found that the phone has already been delivered to him.

An FIR under IPC Section 420 was registered and a police team of Kidwai Nagar raided the delivery boy who has been identified as Manoj, a resident of Jawahar camp in Delhi’s Kirti Nagar.

The 22-year-old was arrested and the mobile phone was recovered from one Dharamvir to whom he had sold the phone. Manoj said that he was in need of the money, which led him to commit the fraud.
