QR code payment scam at petrol pump — scanned 'refund' QR, lost ₹28,000

At HP petrol pump in Pune, attendant said payment failed and showed QR code for 'refund'. When I scanned and entered amount, it actually sent money instead of receiving. Lost ₹28,000 in seconds. Pump owner says 'not our responsibility, that was your phone'. CCTV available.

I filed a complaint 6 months ago and still waiting. The system is broken.
