Reports from Times of India describe separate incidents in which women are allegedly targeted through fake parcel and online gift scams. In one case, a woman is said to be duped of Rs 2.7 lakh after being lured into a “fake parcel” scheme. The scam involves convincing the victim that a parcel or delivery is involved, prompting payment or other actions that result in financial loss. In another report, a woman is allegedly defrauded of ₹61 lakh through an “online gift parcel” scam. Authorities and reporting indicate the victim is persuaded via online channels using the promise of a gift or parcel, following which money is taken from her through the scammer’s instructions.
While the accounts differ in the amounts involved, both reports align on the central pattern: scammers use parcel- or gift-related claims to gain the victim’s trust and extract payments. The reports do not indicate whether the incidents are connected, but they are presented as cases of alleged fraud and financial exploitation.
