Man Gets 'Fake' iPhone 15 From Amazon, Company Responds to Viral Post – News18

Ordering high-end electronic gadgets online always feels like a bit of a gamble, doesn’t it? That mix of excitement and nervousness, hoping everything arrives as expected. But, not everyone sails through the scam-ridden online marketplace, as evidenced by the ordeal of the renowned social media figure ‘Gabbar Singh’ on platform ‘X’. In a now widely circulated post, he lamented receiving a ‘fake’ iPhone 15 from none other than Amazon.

Gabbar Singh took to his ‘X’ handle to share a picture of the iPhone, displaying a message that read, “Unfortunately, Photos has stopped.” In the caption, he expressed his dismay, saying, “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?”

The post erupted into a viral storm, eliciting a response from the e-commerce giant. “@GabbbarSingh We’re sorry to know that you received an incorrect product in the package,” wrote Amazon Help, assuring that they would get back to him with an update within 6-12 hours.

Other users in the comment section began sharing their own grievances with Amazon. One user recounted, “Happened to me 15 days ago. In my case, it’s some used old android phone inside Iphone packaging. My money gone, @amazonIN refused any help. Folks pls pls pls, stop buying expensive stuff on amazon.” Another user, raising doubts about Amazon’s quality control, shared, Had ordered a Surf Excel washing powder through @amazonIN yesterday and I received a box of Sulf Excel…not sure what happened to their qc.”

Then there was the disillusioned customer who received not a product, but an empty promise in a box. “@amazon once delivered an empty box to me. Wasn’t an iPhone but still, I paid much for an android to Amazon only to get cheated. I raised the issue. Got nothing but arrogance from Amazon. Stopped buying from them.”
