How COD Scams Operate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It has come to our attention that there are scammers who use COD services to trick customers into paying something that they did not purchase<\/strong> at the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their modus operandi includes targeting online shoppers in peak sale seasons. Items like sponge and umbrellas, among others, have been used in this scam as victims have to pay a sum of money thinking that they are paying for their parcels.<\/p>\n\n\n
