Dipika claimed in the video that she often places orders for both her son Ruhaan and herself.

"I spoke to a about it, and she checked with a few more people. Yes, this is a scam where items are delivered to your doorstep without your consent. They repeatedly call you, claiming they are delivering parcels. I want to urge everyone to be cautious – do not accept the order, and under no circumstances should you provide the OTP. Check the seller's details on the package to determine whether it is genuine or a scam. Only then should you proceed with any payment," she said.
