New scam happening in your name @amazonIN.

On October 2nd, a very close friend of mine passed away due to a heart attack. He was 33, has a 3 year old. If you ever spoke to him, you'd never know how much stress he was under. He'd always say "I can't show my weakness, my stress in front of my child & my wife". That fateful morning, he woke up with a chest and back pain. As he lived in a small town, the local doctor advised him to be transferred to a bigger hospital which was 12 kms away. He didn't make it. He died in his father's arms. He never expressed his stress except for
