Hi K, want to ask if there's a scam out there where the seller delivers the item, and then you have to pay the full amount directly to the delivery team?

Edit update:
I wan to purchase something, from facebook, the seller offer this method, cod and make payment on delivery? Something new for me, seems fishy n sounds like scam, so better not to proceed?

Beware of antrax

It's already exists since COD method introduce. Not new. Scam like this for years already.

thats why ban sohai COD for online shopping.....

That's called COD. Not called SCAM

TS English standard 1

only if you guys never ordered the item. If you guys did and COD payment then not scam. If never ordered but suddenly item arrived and request cash payment then scam

could be deliveryman silap rumah too.
always confirm the recipient name first for unexpected delivery, reject if they cannot give or simply give unknown name wan. if the name is known, contact that recipient for confirmation.

Yes, and it's usually someone in the house who paid for it because they thought you had ordered something as usual. That is why you should always inform your household if you're expecting something to be delivered.

a very old scam... my dad almost kena... luckily he remembered that we usually paid everything...

until now, we don't know what rubbish that was...

all item delivered to guard house

security dont gip fark on paying, just receiving

There is a lot in FB that selling item below market price. For example, a Shimano fishing reel where is standard market price is RM500+ is selling at 200+. Scammer in order to persuade buyer is giving COD option. But this COD option itself is a trap because the seller is using 3rd party courier.

From this, U actually no able to open the package to check because the moment U open it, it consider sold even the item is not the genuine product.

U either ask courier can check the item before paying or not only (which 3rd party courier doesn't let U to open it without paying first)

If U see item below market price on FB. U can troll back the seller by order it then cancel the order afterward. Let them bare back the deliver cost

Early this year got scammer masquerading as branded labels (like Dior) and entice netizens into playing their game with high chance of winning (eg. 95% discount). the actual product cost tens of thousands. Some might kena duped after paying that 5% sum to courier before being given a fake product.

Cod scamming

This COD payment method really sohai, waste of time and effort even the packaging cost also, high risk of return and stock damage. KNNCB betul

I am online seller. My product listing had been impersonate by scammer to scam cheapskate buyer.

How this happen is that they duplicate my product photo, create fake reviews (on facebook, fake posting can be bought easily, one /k/ is in this business where they rent people facebook account to generate fake post). And offer half the original price.

When cheapskate hunt for the chapest price and come across their listing and convience by hundreds of "happy buyer" post and so they proceed to place order by COD method.

Item arrive wrapped in black color wrapping, they can't see the content. Once they pay to the courier, there is no turning back. The item they receive is not what being published online but some random cheap stuff.

I received numerous phone call complain because my number is on the product listing.

This COD is an opportunity for scammer. The receiver is unlikely to open and check parcel content on the spot
