QR Code Scam – A Trap Behind The Square | Cyber Alert India
💡 QR Code Scam Kya Hota Hai?
QR Code ek image hota hai jo paise lene ke liye hota hai. Par scammers aapko confuse karte hain ki us QR code se paise bheje ja sakte hain. ---🎯 Scam Kaise Kaam Karta Hai?
- Scammer aapko call ya message karta hai: _"Main aapka product kharidna chahta hoon, ₹500 advance bhej raha hoon..."_
- Fir kehta hai: _"Aap apna QR code bhejo, main scan karke paise bhejta hoon."_ Aap QR code bhejte ho.
- Scammer use **fake Pay app** me scan karta hai.
- App aap se **UPI PIN** mangta hai (kyunki aap soch rahe ho paise aane wale hain)
- Jaise hi aap PIN daalte h.
🔁Real Example – OLX QR Code Fraud:
> Neha ne OLX pe ek furniture bechne ka ad dala. > Ek "buyer" ne call kiya aur bola: > _"₹1000 advance bhej raha hoon, QR code bhejo."_ > Neha ne bhej diya. > Usne Paytm se QR scan kiya — Neha ne PIN daal diya — > 💣 ₹25,000 nikal gaye! ---🧠 Important Confusion:
| Soch | Sach | |-----|-----| | QR code bhejne se paise aayenge | ❌ Galat | | QR code se sirf paise **lena** hota hai | ✅ Sahi | ---🛡️ QR Code Scam Se Bachne Ke Tareeke:
- - QR code se paise **receive** kiye jaate hain, **send** nahi
- - Koi bhi kehta hai “QR code bhejo” to samajh jao ye **fraud** ho sakta hai
- Kabhi bhi UPI PIN kisi ke kehne pe mat daalo
- Paise receive karne ke liye **UPI ID ya Phone number** share karo — bas!
