Viral Video: A shocking case involving a con artist attempting to trick a driver using a Razorpay payment device from Delhi's MCD parking has gone viral online. The video quickly went viral and even caught the attention of Razorpay co-founder Shashank Kumar. It all started when a car owner parked his vehicle and was asked to pay the parking fee online. Despite the parking worker showing him a QR code on a Razorpay device, the driver was suspicious of the situation. Before making the payment, he decided to double-check the details using his Paytm app, and the outcomes were shocking.

The QR code wasn’t linked to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) or any official parking account. Instead, it was connected to the man holding the device, Vinod Kumar, who was later found running an illegal setup at the parking lot. His aim was to make people believe they were paying official parking charges when the money was actually going to his own account.

A video of the entire incident was shared online with the caption “new scam unlocked,” sparking outrage among users. People slammed how easily digital payment systems could be misused through fake QR codes.

As the video gained attention, Razorpay’s co-founder Shashank Kumar responded swiftly. He assured users that the company would take action to prevent such fraud in the future. “In the next software upgrade, we will disable gallery access unless really needed for the seller,” he wrote on X.

Many people online praised his quick and responsible reaction, saying it showed how powerful social media can be in bringing real issues to light. The video shared a few hours ago received 1.4 million views from social media users. "Good call, but what if such scammers still want to keep the old version?" a user wrote.

"I can't think of a single use case where a POS machine needs access to a gallery. And, for a better design, generate the QR code in two steps, so the QR code pops up in front of the customer," a second user wrote. "There are tons of scams happening these days. Recently, a cab driver showed me a QR post-ride completion with an amount of 15k instead of 150. When I scanned and was about to pay, I checked the amount," wrote a third user.
