Or they can just take your money and not send out anything.

Alternatively, you just act as a middleman drop shipper and slightly raise the price more than Amazon’s and skim the difference. It might be a while before they find out.

Example, parking places with QR codes for paying webapps.

Currently a plague in some European countries.

It looks like the real site, and you pay twice, in the fake app, and later the police.

		That’s an insecure design. The way we do it here is that you install an app and register your register number and payment card in it. Then when you drive in and out from the parking lot your license plate is scanned and you’re automatically charged. There’s only two providers so it’s not a huge hassle, if there was a single app per garage it would not really work from UX perspective. No room for hostile social engineering.

Yep. On a small scale, you could skim money off transactions. On a large scale, you could break global distribution and logistics chains.
