Scots mum hits out at Just Eat 'ghost restaurant' scamming Scots out of cash

A "ghost restaurant" on Just Eat has been scamming Scots out of their hard earned cash by taking orders and failing to deliver any food.

Sweet Box in Broxburn, West Lothian, has been advertising a range of delicious treats from sausage suppers and burgers and chips to delicious boxes full of sweeties and chocolates. Orders can be placed through Just Eat, with the restaurant quickly responding to say it has been received before claiming it is out for delivery.

But dozens of customers have reported that their food has never arrived with angry punters being left to scrape around the kitchen for any scraps for their tea. Mum-of-two Sarah Louise, from West Lothian, forked out £22 on an order of burgers and sweets as a treat for her youngsters after a busy day out swimming at around 5.30pm on Tuesday evening.
