An Edinburgh restaurant owner says he has been left out of pocket after claiming a bogus Deliveroo driver walked off with £75 worth of food.
Popular Edinburgh eatery Kauai say they were left to remake a huge order after falling foul of a scam driver who they claim cancelled the order as soon as he picked up the food. They say he then made off with £75 of wraps, salads, juices and smoothies.
Owners say this is a growing problem at restaurants, with drivers picking up legitimate orders from the Deliveroo app, showing the delivery order to the restaurant and then immediately cancelling the order as soon as they leave the eatery.
