With the increasing number of scams, even purchasing meal vouchers can be unwittingly involved in criminal investigations. Consumers who collectively bought electronic vouchers for a popular buffet restaurant, Shang-Pin Banquet, found their tickets locked due to a fraud group stealing bank account information to purchase and resell the tickets online. Despite the police investigation and ticket locking, Shang-Pin Banquet refused to compensate the affected consumers, leaving them no recourse but to accept their losses. The consumers' attempt to save money ended up getting them embroiled in a criminal case, highlighting the need to be cautious against evolving scam tactics.
