I just narrowly escaped losing around ₹76,000.
I had placed an order for a 5-gram gold coin worth ₹76,000 around 4:00 PM at Swiggy Instamart.
Since it was a high-value order, I was actively tracking it.
That’s when I noticed something unusual.
The tracking location was stuck at one place for almost 10 minutes, and then suddenly it updated.
That didn’t feel normal, so I decided to be extra cautious.
🚩 Delivery moment where things started going wrong
When the delivery agent arrived, he immediately called me and asked for the OTP.
I refused.
I told him clearly:
“I will verify the product first, then only I will give OTP.”
I opened the outer packaging and could see a transparent box with something that looked like a gold coin inside.
But he kept insisting:
“OTP first. You can’t open it before that.”
That made me suspicious.
I told him:
“This is not my first order. I’ve done this multiple times. I always verify first.”
He still refused.
So I said:
“Take it back. I will cancel the order.”
He left out from my villa.
🚨 Things got more suspicious after that
Immediately, I contacted customer support and requested cancellation.
But here’s where it gets strange.
Even after he left, the tracking still showed the parcel as being at my location, not moving at all.
Support told me:
“The delivery agent is still at your location, waiting.”
But in reality, he wasn’t properly delivering.
Instead:
He parked his bike near my house, tracking always shows at delivery.
Went outside community by walk with the parcel
Came back after around 45 minutes
This raised a serious red flag.
⚠️ Second interaction — even more suspicious
When he returned, I again refused to give OTP.
I told him:
“Hand it over to the warehouse. I will cancel from backend.”
He said:
“Cancellation is not possible”
That didn’t make sense.
I pushed back strongly:
“Leave my place, I won't be giving any OTP”
He couldn’t give a clear answer. & Left as I gave no choice at 06:10.
🔥 Final Episode
Got a call from warehouse, at 06:15 Pm
Warehouse team tried to question why I was rejecting, but I clearly stated:
“The product have been tampered with. I don’t trust this delivery.,”
✅ Outcome
After three hours drama, the order was finally cancelled, and the refund was initiated.
🔒 Final line
You don’t lose money when the scam starts.
You lose it the moment you share the OTP without certainty

@swapnakpanda Who said it's not happening in India? Things are definitely flexible here too! 🇮🇳
It's important to remember that issues are rarely one-sided. There are always multiple perspectives to consider. Let's explore these different angles!
An Indian employee asked his US manager to be OOO daily for 3 hours to take care of his 7-months old baby.
Look at his manager's reply. Why it's impossible in Indian workplaces?
@UN UN is worst organisation. What have they done to stop #USAIran war . Nothing. @grok can you tell what is efforts done by UN to stop/end this current war ?
Even wars have rules.
The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination.

@DocRGM@raghav_chadha Going to London is not crime on which he shud be removed from parliament. His rising popularity is not being digested by kejriwal
@raghav_chadha Yes.
Made you an MLA.
Made you an MP.
And Arvind Kejriwal is the Culprit.
And the Person who escaped to London while 5 AAP leaders were Jailed - is a Revolutionary.
Resign and Get Lost.
Bloody Coward.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
@JacobBethellFC Thanks Jacob. You had played superb innings. Almost had ruined 1.46 billion people dream.
You will have a promising career and you will be one of the finest player for England in upcming future
Back-to-back #WorldChampions! Defending a #WorldCup takes character and this team led by @surya_14kumar played with real intent on the biggest stage! 🇮🇳
@IamSanjuSamson@ishankishan51@OfficialAbhi04 were outstanding in the final. Sanju, across the opportunities showed again why he’s a match winner. Ishan was consistent right through and played a solid role in India’s run. @IamShivamDube@hardikpandya7 shifted momentum at will when the game demanded it.
@Jaspritbumrah93 was truly special, the tougher the situation the better he got! @akshar2026 was magical with the ball, picking up crucial wickets, with Hardik, @arshdeepsinghh and #VarunChakaravarthy keeping the pressure on throughout.
Congratulations to coach @GautamGambhir and the entire support staff as well! A lot of hard work goes into moments like this!
India, World Champions again. 🇮🇳🏆
@BCCI#ICCT20WORLDCUP#INDvNZ

Congratulations to all the players and all the members of the management for achieving this feat. Jai Hind 🇮🇳❤️
There’s a different kind of joy you feel watching certain batters bat. @IamSanjuSamson is one of them. 97*, 89 and 89 at the biggest stage in knockout games. Moves like silk but is made of steel. 🙌🏼👏🏼 #INDvNZ#t20worldcup2026
India are the best T20 team by a good distance .. Plus the best 50 over team by a good distance .. they will take some stopping in white ball cricket .. but you can get them in Test cricket .. 👍
