The Tula branch of the Bank of Russia told about a new fraud scheme. It works through fake QR codes supposedly to pay for purchases.
Fraudsters disguised as bank employees call the victims and report that a withdrawal request has been received from their card, for which you must “send a QR code” to cancel it.
The attackers believe that the potential victim does not know that the crooks can use this code to deduct money from the account and send it to the crooks. After receiving the code, fake bank clerks simply withdraw money from ATMs from the deceived person’s account.
Under no circumstances should you send QR codes to anyone, as this is an actual instruction to the bank to issue money without a PIN code.
Real bank clerks will never ask a customer for a QR code.
Even more interesting things here.
