QR Code Scam : Cyber thugs in the country are deceiving common people by inventing new methods every day. Cyber thugs have earlier been committing fraud by asking for bank account information and sometimes by misusing OTP, but now the new method is making victims of spam/fraud through QR code. Consumers should be careful and do not scan unknown or suspicious QR codes even by mistake, otherwise their bank accounts will become empty and they may become victims of cyber fraud.
What is happening with consumers who buy or sell goods online, first cyber thugs call and make a deal, agree to buy the goods at an arbitrary price and then send a QR code and have to scan it. It is said that if you scan that QR code in a hurry, then your financial data is not only stolen but they also withdraw money from your account and reduce the account balance to zero.
To make consumers cautious and informed, we would like to tell them not to share any of their personal and bank information under any circumstances. Be careful while scanning QR codes until you verify the authenticity and reliability of the QR code sources. QR code has to be sent by us, theirs should not be taken, no one should do this work in haste.
Avoid scanning the QR code sent by an unknown person in a suspicious manner or by talking to someone, it could be a spam which can also be dangerous. QR code is a new and dangerous fraud/fraud technique used by cyber criminals. Criminals are carrying it out very cleverly. They not only steal money from the account but can also steal personal information of the consumer. To avoid this personal fraud, it is very important for us to be aware and alert.
