Fonyód restaurant donates 80,000 HUF food order to local family after fake order
A restaurant in Fonyód, Ladik Étterem és Bár, was targeted by a fraudulent online food order totaling approximately 80,000 HUF. The provided contact information and address were invalid, preventing the restaurant from reaching the customer.
Rather than discarding the freshly prepared meals, the restaurant management decided to donate the food to a local family facing difficult circumstances. The unexpected gift was reportedly received with great joy, particularly by the children in the household.
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with local hospitality professionals noting that such fraudulent orders are a recurring issue. While large orders are often verified via telephone, smaller amounts are harder to filter. The restaurant has begun technical efforts to trace the IP address associated with the order.
