A 26-year-old software engineer in Mumbai city was in for a rude shock when the e-tailing major Flipkart delivered a detergent bar instead of an iPhone-8 which he had ordered and paid for.
After he approached the Byculla police in central Mumbai, a case of cheating was registered against Flipkart.
On January 22, he alleges, the package delivered at his house in Panvel in neighbouring Navi Mumbai had a detergent bar inside instead of the premium mobile phone.
“Nagrali approached us with a complaint yesterday, and an offence of cheating was registered against Flipkart,” Avinash Shingte, senior police inspector at the Byculla police station, told PTI.
A Flipkart spokesman told PTI that the company is conducting an inquiry into the incident.
I think this is the worst ever situation for Flipkart. This has happened for the first time with Flipkart.
I know how it feels when you order an iPhone and get something else that is never expected.

This kind of thing has happened many times on eBay, some people were even sent photos of the item they ordered because the seller wrote "purchase is for a photo of _____" People will always find some way to scam another.
Ya! Ebay is at the top for this!
