Edinburgh Burger King customers bemused by 'phantom order' they never placed

Edinburgh residents have been left bemused after receiving a phantom confirmation email from Burger King for an order they never placed.

Various confused customers, and even those who have never placed an order in their lives, took to Twitter on Tuesday, August 9, with some even saying their email account received the mysterious message even though they have never ordered from the restaurant.

On Burger King's official Twitter account, dozens of users across the UK replied to their latest tweet with screenshots of the same email, which says "thank you for your order," even though no order was placed. One Edinburgh local said: "Good morning @BurgerKing received the same blank email to separate email accounts this morning. Is this a system error, or has your systems been compromised?"
