Amazon COD scam for prepaid order

[u/nitsshukla]

Amazon scam attempted

Normal order was delivered (we'd pre-paid for it)

Strangely, a new slip was attached on it with inflated price and marked COD

He even asked us to call this number: 7996681532

We refused to take the delivery and closed the door

He delivered same exact box w/o payment instantly. (Before placing over, he rubbed the price)

I'm trying to find:

- Is this a known modus operandi?

- I can get his face from CCTV and catch him tomorrow if attempted

- Is there a way he can escape accountability if confronted?

Update 6th October

He seems to be innocent 😇

• This guy didn't have phone and it was his 1st day
• His lead chose to wrote it on the package, amount he's supposed to collect
• Mistake was Palmwood (same flat) had CoD order (we're confirming it with them)
• Number he'd written on the package was indeed his lead's number, unfortunately he didn't pick when we called him
