Chandigarh Rapido Driver Loses Rs 4,000 in QR Code Scam
Imagine you're a delivery driver and someone asks you to take their wife somewhere else and pay for it with extra cash.
They tell you they sent money to your account and to send the same amount to a QR code.
You see money in your account and send it.
Later, you realize the money was from a friend, not the passenger!
That's what happened to the driver.
The passenger tricked him into sending his own money to a scammer.
It's like someone pretending to pay you, then asking you to pay them back with your own money.
Be careful about checking where the money comes from!

The driver saw Rs 4,000 credited to his account and sent it to the QR code.
The driver later discovered the money was sent by a friend the previous day, not the passenger.
The driver lost Rs 4,000 due to the digital scam.
