New bottle deposit machine scam: fraudsters use stickers to steal refunds

Fraudsters have developed a new scam targeting bottle deposit machines (butelkomaty) by sticking fake barcodes on ordinary bottles to trick the machines into accepting them as deposit-eligible containers. The method allows criminals to collect refunds for bottles that were never part of the deposit scheme. Retailers and machine operators are warning customers and investigating reports of abuse.

Should retailers be held financially responsible for such bottle deposit machine scams?
