Probably something like this:
1) People pay the fraudster for "discounted" food.
2) The fraudster places the order using the stolen account.
3) The fraudster tells the people who paid them: "Go to the pub car park at 9pm and wait for the Deliveroo driver. If he asks, your name is John Smith."
4) Profit.
- kami8845 8y agoIndeed, maybe there's an app called "Delilaloo" on the App Store that serves as the frontend for these scams
- DoctorOetker 8y agobut then THAT should be the real story, why did the journalist stop digging? it's also pretty hard to imagine it's worth the effort, you still need to advertise so people know about your service! the service would have suspiciously similar dishes advertised in menus corresponding to original restaurants etc... the unsuspecting customer gets to open the door for a Deliveroo person! there's just so many ways this would go wrong in the real world that it doesnt make sense to invest time and effort in MitM'ing Deliveroo from a limited set of compromised accounts... This all indicates the fraud is happening from within Deliveroo
