Madurai influencer Veeramani shared his home address hoping to receive Diwali sweets, but pranksters flooded him with cash-on-delivery orders, including a ₹1.69 lakh TV, forcing him to reportedly leave home
MADURAI: A social media influencer from Tamil Nadu who shared his residential address hoping to receive Diwali sweets found himself facing an overwhelming wave of prank deliveries, including expensive televisions, refrigerators, washing machines and smartphones.
Veeramani, a Madurai-based content creator known for his humorous videos and local slang, became the target of online pranksters after publicly sharing his contact details and asking followers to send festive treats.
Instead, strangers began placing numerous cash-on-delivery (COD) orders using his address, turning his Diwali celebrations into an unexpected ordeal.
₹1.69 lakh television among prank deliveries
Delivery workers from Amazon and Flipkart reportedly arrived repeatedly at Veeramani’s residence carrying expensive household appliances and electronics.
One television alone was reportedly priced at ₹1.69 lakh.
The situation escalated when delivery agents from Swiggy and Zomato also began arriving with unsolicited food orders.
Veeramani said he received approximately 15 orders within just 30 minutes, leaving him overwhelmed by the continuous deliveries.
Influencer begs pranksters to stop deliveries
As the situation worsened, Veeramani posted videos pleading with followers to stop placing orders.
He explained that he had neither purchased the products nor possessed the money to pay for them.
The influencer also expressed concern for delivery workers who were wasting time travelling to his residence.
Despite repeated appeals, the unwanted deliveries reportedly continued.
Veeramani reportedly leaves home after harassment
According to local reports, Veeramani eventually left his residence after struggling with repeated deliveries and unwanted attention.
Social media users also circulated screenshots claiming orders for excavators and military tanks, although these extraordinary claims remain unverified.
The incident has raised concerns about online harassment, digital privacy and the risks of sharing personal information publicly.
