When you register a new company, your details are out there in the open, targeted by scammers, spammers, and other marketing specialists. I'm usually paranoid and am good at detecting BS, but this slipped through.
On a fateful day in 2015, while I was driving, the security guard at our building called me to say there is a book order, and the mailman was asking for cash payments. Highly unlikely because I always pre-pay and don't do the Cash-on-Delivery, which is 90%+ of the eCommerce in India.
I had earlier helped the guard's family, especially his daughter (similar to my daughter's age), with some school fees and gifts. So, he is always looking for ways to "repay" me. He offered to pay off the ₹2,500+ for the "official book" order.
In the melee of me driving and the "official book," I told him to go ahead. I paid him the amount he paid the mailman but never told him about the scam lest he feels terrible.
I still have that book-order well packed to remind me of the time when I was scared. I will have it as part of my collectibles (family museum).
