E-hailing rider faces 6 charges over fake QR code payments
Ruzaini Ruzi is accused of displaying fake amounts to buy cigarettes, food and beverages totalling RM356.50.
A 26-year-old delivery rider, Ruzaini Ruzi, appeared in the magistrates court today to deny six charges of cheating. The charges stem from using fake QR code payment transactions to buy items totaling RM356.50 earlier this year. Ruzaini appeared before magistrate Ellyna Othman, who read the charges to him. He is accused of deceiving two individuals by displaying QR payment transactions for amounts between RM36.40 and RM67.20, which did not match the actual transactions.
The alleged incidents occurred at a petrol station in Kuantan between January 19 and February 3. If convicted, Ruzaini faces up to 10 years in prison, whipping, and a fine under Section 420 of the Penal Code. Deputy public prosecutors B Deevagaran Naidu and Danial Wafi presented the case, while Ruzaini was represented by lawyer Syed Azimal Amir Syed Abu Bakar. The court granted Ruzaini bail of RM12,000 and set September 25 for the next case mention.
