Dear @amazonIN, why have not you eliminated a vendor who’s been scamming patrons for over a yr? My mother ordered an Oral-B electrical toothbrush price ₹12k, and acquired 4 packing containers of MDH Chat Masala as a substitute! Turns out vendor MEPLTD has accomplished this to dozens of shoppers since Jan 2022. pic.twitter.com/vvgf1apA38
