Instead of laughing, thousands of customers went into panic mode and rang their banks to try and stop the payment. One customer stated on Twitter that he “almost had a stroke” when he received the fake confirmation email. And that they were about to be charged exorbitant amounts of money for pizza they did not order. Instead, they thought that their Deliveroo app accounts had been hacked.
