Trade in issue

December 6, 2023. I had went to an AT&T store and did the next program to trade in my old phone for a new phone. The customer service rep was great and at the end of the transaction he had provided me with a prepaid shipping label to ship my old phone back through the United States postal. 
phone was dropped off and I had gotten a receipt with the tracking number in hand and went about my day. March 2024 I’d received a notice from AT&T that they had not received my trade-in phone and that I will be charged for the remaining amount. After 3 1/2 months I had no longer had the receipt from the post office. The AT&T store that had provided me with the prepaid label is unable to look up any of the paperwork for this transaction. The post office unfortunately, does not keep tracking numbers for longer than three weeks. AT&T rep did tell me that there is a chance of the warehouse did receive the phone however, they just haven’t scanned it in yet, but without a tracking number there’s no way I can prove that they have it and there will be nothing that they can do for me.
This seems like an easy way to scam people into paying for a device that they no longer have
