Devagiri admitted to working with others in 2020 and 2021 to cause DoorDash to pay for deliveries that never occurred. At the time, Devagiri was a delivery driver for DoorDash orders. Under the scheme, Devagiri used customer accounts to place high value orders and then, using an employee’s credentials to gain access to DoorDash software, manually reassigned DoorDash orders to driver accounts that he and others controlled. Devagiri then caused the fraudulent driver accounts to report that the orders had been delivered, when they had not, and manipulated DoorDash’s computer systems to prompt DoorDash to pay the fraudulent driver accounts for the non-existent deliveries. Devagiri would then use DoorDash software to change the orders from “delivered” status to “in process” status and manually reassign the orders to driver accounts he and others controlled, beginning the process again. This procedure usually took less than five minutes, and was repeated hundreds of times for many of the orders.

The scheme resulted in fraudulent payments exceeding $2.5 million.

    Did he really just leave his IP wide open? Or did they somehow manage to get through his seven proxies to find him?

    I know I’m being paranoid. What I don’t know is if I’m being paranoid enough.

      Pro tip if you’re going to rob a bank don’t use your car as the getaway car. Vinyl wrapping your car doesn’t change the fact that it’s your car.

          Reddit had an AMA with a Bank Robber ten years ago that they’ve since deleted for corpo purity reasons 😂

          Here’s the big points from it:

          • Banks don’t care about losing amounts under 5k.
          • Security won’t stop you if you don’t have a visible weapon.
          • Worst they do is lock the door, so bring a hammer.
          • the goal is to get in, and get the teller to give you a couple grand asap, then leave under 10 minutes.
          • Guy did this to at least 5 different banks (all different companies) in one day, once a month, for several months.

          He eventually got caught because of the money he had, not because his face was on every security camera.

          He recommends not doing this, as do I, as it’s just not worth it.

          But just in case you wanted to know how it was done a decade ago, fuck Reddit, here’s the details they recently deleted.

            Reddit used to have an entire shoplifting subreddit (r/shoplifting for the wayback) that regularly made fun of the loss prevention subreddit and the two subs often stole ideas from each other and would taunt each other. There was obvious sexual tension between them

            Ofc it got banned even though it was technically a “roleplay” sub

            Fraud is something that a prosecutor has to prove in the court of lawhat we got her eis some allegations made by a corpo parasite.

            Looks like DoJ wasted taxpayer resources to make corporate feel better

            You remind me of that one kid in class who was intelligent enough to realize the teacher forgot to assign homework, but lacked the wisdom to shut the hell up and walk out the door.

              You remind me of that one kid in class who never got a date.

              (WTF? How can a joke reply generate this level of acrimony?)
