New trap for cyber fraud 'QR code'

News Desk: There are a lot of frauds happening from Quick Response (QR Code). For example, many times you may be asked to scan this code on WhatsApp. Busy! Whoever did that did not even realize that your money went into the account of those fraudsters! You should never tell anyone your card number, expiry date, PIN, OTP, etc. to avoid falling into such a trap unknowingly.

Various traps of fraud. Suppose you were sent a message or an email (which of course you don't think is fake at all). Where you are told, you have won the lottery of ten thousand taka.

To get it you tell your UPI PIN. The money will go to your account. Now your QR code will be scanned with that UPI PIN. After doing this, you thought, as a result, the money went into your account. But as soon as you give your PIN, instead of the money entering your account, your money goes to their account. So be careful. The less QR code you use, the better.
