Fake Daraz seller shipping empty box instead of laptop — seller account deleted

Ordered an Acer Aspire laptop for LKR 165,000 from a Daraz seller with seemingly good ratings. The price was about 20% below other sellers. When the package arrived via courier, the box contained rocks and old newspapers instead of the laptop. The package was sealed and looked legitimate from outside. By the time I tried to file a complaint, the seller's account had been deleted from Daraz. I've filed a dispute with Daraz and they're investigating, but the seller appears to have created a fake account with bought reviews. Always check seller history carefully and use cash-on-delivery when possible.
