A code stuck on top
QR codes at shop counters or parking lots can have another code stuck over them, sending your payment to a stranger's account.
RED FLAGS
Look first, read the name
Watch for codes stuck on top, peeling edges or misaligned frames. When scanning, read the recipient's name before you transfer.
ODD PAGES
Asked to log in? Leave
If a public code opens a page asking for your bank login or an OTP code, leave immediately.
IF IT HAPPENED
Call your bank and the police
If you've sent money or entered details, call your bank right away to lock your account, then report it to the police.
