Online shopping has its pros as well as cons. It’s, however, the cons that make headlines more often than not. Ranging from scams to wrong items being delivered, we’ve seen many users voice their concerns. Now, adding to the list of cons is a recent incident in which a woman says she ordered an Apple watch from Amazon but received a fake ‘Fit Life’ watch. She further claimed that she made several calls to Amazon India but the customer care executives didn’t pay attention to her problem. Irritated by the lack of proper customer service, the woman named Sanaya posted her complaint on Twitter

Sanaya also tagged the help desk of Apple in her tweet. The post has now gone viral.

Sanaya says she ordered an Apple Watch Series 8 on July 8 for Rs 50,900. The estimated date of delivery was July 9. After the product was delivered, she says she was shocked to discover that instead of an Apple watch she was delivered a ‘Fit Life’ watch

“NEVER ORDER FROM AMAZON,” wrote Sanaya in her Tweet after being ignored by Amazon customer support when asked for help. She also posted a few pictures of the product and the receipt.

The tweet has got over 2 lakh views since being posted on July 11.

“NEVER ORDER FROM AMAZON!!! I ordered an @Apple watch series 8 from @amazon on 8th July. However, on 9th I received a fake 'FitLife' watch. Despite several calls, @AmazonHelp refuses to budge. Refer to the pictures for more details. Get this resolved ASAP. @AppleSupport,” Sanaya captioned the post.
