Five college students in China scammed fast food chain
KFC . According to local media , the young people cost the brand more than 200 thousand yuan, that is, more than 30 thousand dollars (600 thousand Mexican pesos approximately).
It all started when one of them, named Xu, found flaws in the brand's purchasing system in 2018 and started ordering food for resale.
Xu, placed orders with package vouchers in a company application, later requested a refund of that money through WeChat. Another way he used was to trick the KFC app through a package coupon and another application that helped him get the food code without paying.
