This is how fraud occurs with QR code
The bank has released a video to explain such fraud. Through this video, customers have been explained how this type of fraud is done. According to the video, online thugs send QR codes to customers for payment of dining tables. After this, the customer is alerted that the QR code is always used for payment and not for receiving payment. Therefore, they do not accept this request.
So if you have any kind of code, then beware of it. You can lose all your money when you get into this kind of trick. Let us tell you that QR is always used for payment and not for receiving payment.
Do not share the ATM card with anyone,
apart from this, customers should not share their ATM card with anyone else. By doing this information of your card can be leaked and anyone can easily fraud with you.
Never save these numbers in the phone
The bank has said that even after dragging the bank account number, password, ATM card number or picture of it, there is a risk of your information being leaked. With this, your account can also be completely empty.
