The scam involved a courier delivery scheme, where the woman clicked on a link to receive her parcel. However, instead of receiving the parcel, she became a victim of fraud.
According to reports, the 25-year-old woman had clicked on the link to receive her parcel, which contained some clothes she had given to a tailor. Despite waiting for two days, the woman did not receive her parcel. When she called to inquire about the delay, she was asked to pay Rs 5 as a processing fee.
