Possible new scam?

I had an INR case opened last night.  A minute later an email arrived from the buyer saying they got the package, a neighbor had it.  Wouldn't it take longer to find it had been delivered to a neighbor?  The timing is off.

 

I responded to the case with the tracking information update but if I had ignored that because she claimed to have box wouldn't the case eventually gone in her favor?

Not if the neighbor had just knocked on the door and said "Here is your package. It got delivered to me."

A scam that only succeeds if the seller fails to take the clear, obvious and recommended next step seems like a pretty convoluted scam. It has a much lower chance of success than the tried-and-true scam that a buyer almost always wins.

Re: Possible new scam?

If this is a scam, why would they message you back so fast?

Why would you have ignored it?

Yes it would have gone in her favor unless you responded with the tracking number showing the package was delivered or the buyer closed the INR case.    Having said that I so no new scam.  Sometimes s___ happens.
