Kids Got Scammed After Receiving Their Drone Package From Daraz

According to the latest report, a young vlogger on YouTube, Ali Taimoor, made an order online via Daraz.pk for a drone. Speaking of the price of the flying system, Ali paid about Rs. 6,550 for it and was able to receive it a couple of days after placing the order.

As a vlogger, Ali together with two other kids, who were excited to receive the package, took a video of the unboxing experience. Unfortunately, the kids were filled with disappointment after realizing there was no drone in the box delivered to them by Daraz. Initially, when the unboxing began, Ali said: “The packaging seems to be quite old. However, let’s open the box and check the product.”

After opening the box, the kids couldn’t see the drone, ordered from Daraz, meaning they were scammed. Instead, the kids only saw that the box was stuffed with pieces of garbage and scraps.
