ALBAWABA - A Syrian-German woman received an order reportedly from the Chinese website "Shein" and found an unwanted piece, a scorpion.

A woman, 25, from Marburg, Germany was stung on her hand by a non-deadly scorpion when she was unpacking the order.

According to German media, the woman, named Sundus, ordered a dress, shoes, and a scale and got a "free scorpion" at the end of October.

 "I was so scared," she told German media and posted on social media about what happened to her to receive divided opinions.

Despite that many people sympathised with her condition and called SHEIN to apologize and offer compensation, many others claimed that the Syrian-German woman only wanted to destroy the reputation of the Chinese website.

The woman after she was stung by the animal was taken to a hospital quickly by her neighbors, who also killed the Scorpion. 

Doctors suggested that it could be the "yellow Mediterranean scorpion," which is one of the most poisonous scorpions in the world. However, this suspicion has not been confirmed.
