[QUOTE="Blue Leaf, post: 2491768, member: 45771"] Appario has been my goto seller on amazon for several years. This is the first time I have been a victim of such scams. I always knew they existed. I am just grateful that the damages are minimum @ ~10K. Could have been worse. Could have avoided this whole situation if I or my brother would have been present at the time of the delivery. I actually ordered the drive for my brother who so happens to work in Amazon as a CS representative. As per him since this was open box delivery, Amazon is likely to reject the claim. He would not be able to do much as he just joined amazon 6 months ago. Will keep this thead updated. My hypothesis : Observing the box closely, there seems to some kind of a blue marking. I think this is how scammers at the local hub mark the box, making it easier for the delivery agents to quickly identify. I am quite positive the delivery agents get their cut money too. There is gotta be a bigger nexus thats is running this whole operation. [ATTACH alt="20231022_151710.jpg"]181145[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
