In today’s fast-paced era, online shopping is becoming the first choice of consumers over shopping in malls. However, with the growing popularity of online shopping, the incidence of fraud has also increased drastically. We often hear news of getting bricks or soap in exchange for an expensive iPhone. As a solution to this problem, a popular e-commerce website has now launched a highly secure and unique format.
What is this new security feature?
Special types of security tapes are now being used to ensure the safety of valuables. The special feature of this tape is that it has small pink and red dots on it. These dots are not just a design, they act as a kind of sensor.
If someone tries to open the parcel unauthorized before delivery, the dots on this tape change their original color. Thieves often use a heat gun or hot steam to open the packaging so the tape can be re-glued. However, with this new technology, the dots change color when exposed to heat. Which clearly shows that the parcel has been tampered with.
If you have ordered an expensive item, please note the following when receiving the parcel
1. Check the dots: Carefully check the pink dots on the tape on the parcel.
2. Video Recording: Make a clear video (unboxing video) of the parcel before opening it.
3. Reject delivery: If you see colored dots or the tape is torn, immediately refuse to accept the parcel.
4. File a complaint: In such cases file a complaint with proof by contacting the customer care of the concerned company.
Trust on e-commerce platforms will be strengthened
Meanwhile, due to this new change, fraudsters are now worried and it will help customers to get their expensive products safely. This modern technology will strengthen the trust of customers on the e-commerce platform. Not only technology needs to be depended on, customers also need to be aware. It is hoped that this new pattern of safe shopping will play an important role in completely curbing online fraud incidents in the future.
