A business owner of A/S Fresh suffered losses after he lost contact with his customers who ordered food which amounted for more than RM500. This incident was discovered when the victim shared the drinks and lunch boxes on Facebook and sold them at half price. The victim also unveiled that the man who ordered meals asked him to remit RM 170 in advance to his friend. The man kept calling to urge him when he did not remit money to his friend. Fortunately, the victim found that this was a fraud and was not fooled. However, he lost the cost of the ordered food.

After that, it was revealed that many other business owners were fooled by the same method. One of the companies includes Crystal Sze Chuan Cuisine which located in Alor Setar. The meals were ordered to deliver to the same location. It was difficult to do business during the movement control order (MCO), and it was even worse to meet such a mischievous customer. Later, the victim also reminded peers to be careful. If such a large order is received, a deposit or other solution must be received in advance.
