 Sheikh of Bengaluru's Koramangala area never could have imagined that eating one pizza would cost him so much. The Bengaluru techie fell prey to an online scam and lost a whopping INR 95,000 after ordering a pizza online. The incident took place on the afternoon of December 1, 2019, when he placed the pizza order on a food delivery app on his smartphone. When his food wasn't delivered after waiting for about one hour, he tried to reach the customer care of the app, and that's when he fell into the trap of the online scamsters. 

Sheikh searched for the customer care service number of the food app on the internet. When he called that number, he was reportedly told by the man on the other end that the order was not being accepted by the eatery and that a refund would be made. The man allegedly told Sheikh that he would receive a message on his phone, and he would be required to click on the link sent and process his refund request there
