Lokesh Daga, of Mumbai, India, spent 396 Indian Rupees— roughly U.S.$5—on a four-pack of Colgate mouthwash, but instead received a Redmi Note 10 smartphone worth over 30 times as much.
Although the shipping label was addressed to Daga, the invoice inside the package included the name of the person who had presumably ordered the phone. Daga said that he emailed the person listed on the invoice in order to “get the product delivered to the right person.”
In November 2019, Vishal Solanki of Ontario, Canada told Newsweek that he received a children’s art set that he ordered as a gift for his 8-year-old niece alongside an unexpected baggie containing a mysterious assortment of pills. Solanki noted that if his niece had assumed the pills were “candy” and consumed them, “a whole other conversation” would be taking place.
“I picked up the pack to kind of take a closer look [and] that’s when the stench hit me,” Mukherjee told the outlet. “Oh! This is not right … one actually has poop in it.”
