Nope, that'll do nothing at all. This scam works just fine even if the fraudster does not tamper with the label and the seller receives an empty box.

- mytailorisrich 7y agoThe empty box scam is one scam, all the abuse that is possible because of Royal Mail's negligence is another. At least if the seller is the one receiving an empty box he can set up procedures to attempt to prove it.
- FDSGSG 7y agoWhat abuse is that? The example in the article is the empty box scam. >At least if the seller is the one receiving an empty box he could set up procedures to attempt to prove it. I definitely agree that would be a better outcome, but I think it is a stretch to blame royal mail for this. If someone really wants their package to get lost in shipping there's not much you can do about it.
- rasz 7y agoReceiving empty box gives you evidence to submit for Police investigation. Much easier to prosecute than "system said I receive package".
