Leading e-commerce portal Flipkart was taken for a ride by a
Hyderabad youth, who is said to have duped the company for over Rs 20
lakh.
The youth, Veera Swamy, 32, of Vanasthalipuram in the city allegedly
duped the company by booking orders and returning the goods upon
delivery. He would place the orders for valuable electronic items in the
name of mother, father, wife, brothers and other known people in the
neighbourhood. After the items were delivered, he would call up the call
centre complaining that the goods delivered were of poor quality.

When the company would send representatives to pick them back, he
would retain the actual item received and would stuff fake items in the
box, writing the model number and item code as received. He is said to
have created fake email IDs and made bank payments through different
accounts. The money would be returned to respective accounts once the
goods reach the Flipkart dealer.

different names in the last 20 months. Thus, the company claimed to have
incurred a huge loss of over Rs 20 lakh as per the complaint lodged by
the company Hyderabad representatives with the Vanasthalipuram police.
"We are verifying the contents of the complaint and the accused
version", confirmed Vanasthalipuram police inspector P Pushpan Kumar who
