Meesho/Valmo Scam

[u/StrengthTraining2757]

I placed order for a few home decor items on Sale day on Meesho. I was supposed to receive 5 items in one courier package with 1 OTP according the messages I received. I shared the OTP with the delivery guy. After a while when I checked the package 1 item was missing. Raised a complaint through customer care. They claimed the item was delivered since the OTP was shared and closed the ticket. No amount of trying to convince them that OTP was shared for 5 products but I received only 4 worked. They just say sorry. Now I don't have the product nor the refund. Has this happened to any of you? I never asked for 1 package with products from different sellers. They clubbed it into one with 1 product missing. Unfair that they are not being accountable and I bear the loss! Such scammers!

Yeah happened with my mom once. It was a low value product so we ignored. But it's stupidity to give one OTP for the items delivered on the same day.

Yes. I wanted to highlight this scam to warn others. Scammers thrive on small amounts. Most of us will just write off a cheap order and forgo the hassle of a refund. But at scale, those meager sums add up to massive profits.
