Fast food businesses in Northern Ireland have been urged to stay vigilant and protect themselves against "ruthless fraudsters" trying to steal their earnings.
In some cases reported, the businesses say they received a call from a person claiming to represent the online service either asking to verify their details, or advising them of a change of bank account details. In other reports, some of the business refused to provide any details and there was no financial loss while in other reports, some claim their bank account details were changed without their knowledge.
Northern Ireland Food To Go Association Chief Executive Michael Henderson said: "It is regrettable that we continue to receive reports of small businesses falling prey to this type of fraud. The cost of doing business is made even more difficult with this added pressure of fraud which can, in some cases, lead to closure and unemployment within our communities.
"If you receive a call from someone claiming to be your supplier suggesting they have changed an account number, please ensure you are 100 per cent sure this is the case.
