Delivery of fake order

[smedly]

just got contacted by J&T Express saying they had a COD delivery for me from lazada, apart from the fact I hadn't ordered anything I checked the order number and it was bogus, I obviously refused the delivery, it was small box that appeared to be empty if I had to guess, the address was correct etc. Not sure if this is the courier trying it on or what, just a heads up for anyone else who gets a delivery of a package they didn't order

If it is a fake order, there would be no alternative to CoD.

You just refuse to accept anything which you did not order.

Not really.

 

It is a good reason to check that it really IS a correct order before you sign and pay.

 

I made a small spreadsheet detailing what I order and from whom online. If the order does not appear there and it is in my name it will be refused.

 

Simple and easy to do.

Yup..  Its a scam that has been around for a while now. 

 

Numerous threads about it... including the one I started below, a few people were sceptical that it was really a scam, but since then a load of others have also reported the same attempts. 

 

Easy avoided simply by never doing Cash on Delivery (for any order).

Or do not pay Cash for anything which you did not order.

I recently made an order for about Bht 9k paying with Debit Card, then I cancelled it. The amount is showing as a Pending transaction on my card statement, and Lazada are 'looking into it and say it could take up to two weeks. I would have been better paying CoD.

if you never order with COD you'd never be tricked to pay COD as others have reported happens

I did't order anything and the order number was a fake - no record of it on lazada, the label had all other details correct, address, name, phone etc, the delivery guy was very keen for me to reject it once he realised I wasn't an idiot

An individual preference of course... 

 

But we have no idea what the other has ordered from various platforms... we just know we never order CoD and that avoids the scam.

Some guys get tricked in paying COD when they haven't ordered anything, would never happen if you didn't order with COD. No need for a spreadsheet i just keep a note on colornote app but i appreciate most people slump themselves down in front of PCs rather than use a phone

If the order is genuine (I actully ordered it) I have no issue paying COD, what difference would pre paying make to what is in the package, you either get what you odered or don't in which case you can claim

as I've said already, if you never pay COD and a delivery driver turns up asking for COD you know it's a scam

Ór if you personally keep a track of what you have ordered, it cannot happen.

Yes but as we know people do get tricked, so easy to pay using QR code now, so convenient compared to Pain in the chuff COD, i live in a condo so deliveries are left at security, no waiting to pay COD

still don't understand your logic, if I order from lazada and I track my orders I have no issue paying COD, I have no orders on lazada right now so I knew it was either an error or a scam either way I wasn't handing money over, I've been using lazada for over 20 years and had 4 issues resolved  to my satifaction every time, the critical point here is this was not a genuine lazada order it was a scam attempt by a 3rd party unknown

Totally agree. Not ordered, not pay.

That's easier if you live alone. 

 

If your family never orders anything COD, it's a no-brainer to decline a COD order.  No risk of getting in trouble for declining your daughter's zit cream order before her big date.  (Or your wife's, before her big date, but that's another issue)

 

I did my first 2 or 3 Lazada orders COD when they were new and I had no history.  Then I did hundreds of orders pre-paid by card.  Never a payment issue.

Get your family to write down what they've ordered, from whom, how much and day of delivery.

I don’t order anything COD, so if it comes COD, it’s not my order.

Swings and roundabouts, as we English say. Pay CoD and cancel, the money goes to your Lazada Wallet, cancel card payment, money goes back to your card 'within two weeks

I don't do COD, with other methods deliveries are given to security, much easier than COD where I'd have to go down and pay

As I've said already some people seem to get confused with multiple orders incl wife and kids. It's not all about you

If you order COD you're guaranteed to receive the package, or you don't pay if it doesn't arrive. Never had a problem with COD, never will. No one should ever be tricked into paying for anything if you didn't order anything. Easy to write down what you and anyone in your home orders and what it costs. Kannika beat me to it with this.

Delivery of fake order 

Been ordering of Lazada for years.

 

I always pay with Line wallet for smaller purchases, Kasikorn credit card for more expensive orders. 

 

I've never received a fake order. 

 

You should always pay when ordering, you will save your time posting on AN forums regarding fake orders.

If you use another payment method and it doesn't arrive/delivered elsewhere Lazada will give a refund, I've never had an issue, people are too paranoid about it, probably an age thing

Why would I want to use another method when COD works for me every time.

 

You seem to be the only one paranoid about it, as you keep posting about it.

 

Plus not everybody lives in a condo.

My point being COD is a guarantee you'll receive what you order, and common sense has you not paying for someone you or anyone in your home didn't. Age doesn't make you paranoid or stupid. Quite the opposite actually.
