Time and again we hear news of online scams. It is no new thing when you hear about how an app has been used to debit money and scam people. Now, in another similar incident, the food delivery app ‘Food Panda’ has been allegedly accused of this fraud. A Twitter user who goes by the name, ‘nahin ho paa raha ab’ took to the blue bird app and shared how her friend received three notifications of a collective Rs. 11,000 being deducted from her bank account by Food Panda. She further mentioned that three different transactions were made over the course of five minutes.
She further mentioned how the app took no accountability for the same. “She had three accounts connected out of which 2 had insufficient balance. both were also tried and then the third was used. when she tried removing bank details, she was logged out and her credentials were changed,” she wrote. Accusing the app of ‘Data breach,’ she mentioned how the app is asking her to file a police report.
She also shared screenshots of the transaction. Here is the viral Twitter thread:

Extremely shocked by what had happened, people shared their personal experiences. “I have used food panda services in Bahria Town Lahore for almost 1 continuous year and found them extremely professional. Although items missing, delivery at wrong address etc happened many times but their team always solved the issue and responded on complaints,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “It won’t make a difference because if a person having your debit card number and CVV then both these won’t ask for your permission before making a transaction. I am facing a similar issue now a days with Nayapay because I unfortunately shared my credentials with someone.”
Meanwhile, earlier, Twitter user ‘Mustafa’ took to the micro-blogging site and shared how few people are using dating app ‘Grindr’ to scam people. He shared screen grabs from a conversation with someone who claimed that he was threatened and had to pay an amount of 15K. For those who don’t know, ‘Grindr’ is a location-based online dating application targeted towards members of the gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. People often use it to socialise.
