It seems like purchasing expensive electronics online might be risky these days. Unexpected things can arrive for some people, while others relish the excitement of opening their purchases. It's not unusual to receive a 'fake' product from an online retailer like Flipkart or Amazon. On social media, Amazon has frequently come under fire for shipping fake goods. Following one such instance, a well-known X user has stated that the e-commerce behemoth sent him a phoney iPhone.
Social media star "Gabbar Singh" posted a screenshot of himself claiming to have received a sketchy iPhone 15 from Amazon.
“Waah @amazonIN delivered a Fake iPhone 15. Seller is Appario. Tagged with “Amazon choice” No cable in the box. Total Dabba. Has anyone faced similar issue?” he said in a post.

filed a case in consumer court for a very callous delivery of iPhone 15. After multiple follow-ups and reformatting of my old iPhone ( exchange); waited for 7 days post the delivery date. Ended up buying from store directly. Amazon was trying to compensate me with 1500 ROFL
