An unknown individual defrauded a Vile Parle-based food stall owner by placing another sticker over his UPI PhonePe QR code, thus earning money throughout the entire day.
The fraud came to light when the UPI QR code machine stopped responding. Suspecting an issue with the machine, the seller investigated and checked his bank details, only to discover that not a single rupee had been deposited into his account. Upon inspecting the stall, he found that another QR code had been placed over the original one, resulting in his entire day`s income, approximately Rs 4,000, being duped.
