I have seen this on reddit and It is pretty next level scam attempt. I have decided to write a post for awareness.

Official Ledger post : source
The fake device comes in authentic-looking packaging with the Ledger logo.
The package includes a fake letter and a tampered Ledger hardware wallet. It is shrink-wrapped as if the box has never been opened.
The fake letter explains that you need to replace your existing hardware wallet to secure your funds.
This is a scam. The Ledger Nano is fake. A flash drive implant has been connected to the printed circuit board. It contains a file with a fake Ledger Live app.
There are enclosed instructions in the Nano box which ask the user to connect the device to their computer, open a drive and run the fake Ledger Live app.
To initialize the device, the user is asked to enter his 24 words in the fake Ledger Live app.
This is a scam. A Ledger Nano is not a USB device. It does not contain any application to download and install on your computer. The only way to download the Ledger Live app is by using the official download page.
Plus, Ledger and Ledger Live will never ask you to share your 24-word recovery phrase.
This is another level of scam attempt. I have heard other stories but with a real device, nah.
Just know: Never enter your seed anywhere !
