Food delivery scams: AI-generated images used to deceive customers and obtain refunds.

Scammers are using AI to alter pictures of takeout orders to demand refunds from food delivery companies such as Uber Eats and DoorDash. They digitally manipulate photos to show undercooked or spoiled food, often boasting about their schemes on social media. The companies issue refunds without further investigation, resulting in the business losing the cost. This tactic is illegal in the US and UK.
