Scanning a QR code is not a good idea. Because scanning a stranger's QR code can be dangerous! Maybe hackers can send QR codes to hack bank accounts using e-mail or WhatsApp. Recently, a warning has been issued in this regard by the law enforcement agencies of India.

That's why experts advise not to scan Quick Response (QR) codes sent by strangers. In addition to stealing important information from devices, cyber crooks can also steal money from bank accounts.

In this regard, the country's Additional Director General of Police Navdeep Singh Varak said that the use of smartphones and multiple modes of mobile payments has increased in recent times. Cyber crooks can take advantage of mobile apps and internet banking. New opportunities for cyber fraud have also been created for them. They can give special attention to every aspect of online payment to people. By doing this, you will be protected from the hands of cyber crooks.

In this type of fraud, fraudsters can impersonate online product sellers and send QR codes. They claimed that it is necessary to scan the QR code in the case of online payment. By scanning that code, money can be withdrawn from the account. So never scan any e-mail, WhatsApp, text message or QR code from an unknown source. This can also happen in our country. So we also have to be careful about this.
