A gourmet site promoting “Go To Eat”
In the case of “Go To Eat”, a support measure for restaurants that were affected by the spread of the new corona virus infection, the store side made an online reservation for its own store under the guise of from a client and illegally tried to earn points based on fictitious achievements. He found himself interviewing the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
The ministry said: “There have been reports of cases that could be prevented by measures on the reservation site, but there may be some that have escaped. We are consulting with the police about malicious cases.”
“Eat” has a premium meal ticket business that adds 25% to the purchase price, and a business that reserves registered restaurants through the reservation site and awards points that can be used for food and beverages to customers who they really use it.
In the business of giving points, the store confirms the customer’s visit and reports it to the site, but the person interested in the store misuses this position and falsely reports that they used it after making a reservation for multiple people as a customer . There was a case that was suspected to have been carried out.
The reserve site has a fraud detection mechanism and, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, multiple cases of detection have been reported. In some cases, the customer who made the reservation did not actually use it, but asked the store to report the fictitious results and tried to illegally earn points.
In the business of awarding points, reservations can be made for up to 10 people at a time, with lunch of 500 yen per person and dinner of 1,000 yen per person. Some reservation sites have set an upper limit on the number of reservations and points during a certain period.
Acceptance has now ended on the main sites. As of November 13, there were a total of 55.95 million bookings. The grants will be awarded until the end of January next year and the points already acquired can be used until the end of March.
A restaurant official said in the interview that “an acquaintance who runs the store made a lot of reservations for his store using various names, earned points worth tens of thousands of yen and used them for eating and drinking. I was there.”
Kakakucom, which operates the “Eat Log” reservation site involved in the project, said in an interview that “there are cases where unauthorized acquisition was prevented, but details will be withheld.” Guru Navi admitted that there was a case that prevented fraudulent cases and “is responding in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries.” Recruit Lifestyle, which operates “Hot Pepper Gourmet,” said: “I cannot answer what kind of fraud was committed from a security perspective.”
