On July 31, MEITUAN-W fell 3.29% in regular trading, trading at 89.65 HKD/share, with turnover of 4.88 billion HKD. The decline comes as market sentiment was dampened by reports of a widespread account fraud incident involving the platform's Monthly Pay function.

Multiple users across various cities reported their Meituan accounts were used for unauthorized bulk purchases in remote locations without their knowledge. The stolen funds were deducted through Meituan's Monthly Pay feature, with all affected users having enabled password-free payments for transactions under 500 yuan. Some users suffered losses of several thousand yuan. On July 30, Meituan officially responded that the affected users were likely victims of a new type of telecom fraud, where criminals used trojan programs to remotely control victims' phones, batch-purchasing group-buy vouchers and reselling them on secondhand platforms. Meituan stated it has upgraded risk control strategies, restricted group-buy voucher transfer paths, and taken offline proxy-payment capabilities for high-risk categories.
