What are the scams of mobile phone scanning QR code? What are the precautions for mobile phone payment
4hw.org: China mobile payment has risen rapidly in the past two years, and code scanning payment has become the norm of people's payment, but is code scanning payment safe? Recently, someone fell into the code scanning trap. When code scanning payment, unexpectedly, a fake QR code was scanned, and the money disappeared. In this small part, I remind you that you should pay attention to the following kinds of scams for mobile payment!
1. Interest temptation
Scanning two-dimensional code to send gifts, common in shopping malls, supermarkets and other crowded places. In fact, this is a promotion of some products. After scanning, you need to fill in personal identity information, etc., which may lead to personal privacy disclosure.
2. Pull powder for supporting type
This kind of deception is common in subway stations, bus stations and other places. Some people often hold a two-dimensional code sign in their hands and ask the public to help scan the code for the reasons of 'start-up enterprises, doing activities'. These QR codes may contain viruses. Once the app recommended by the other party is scanned and installed, the money in the mobile phone may be stolen.
3. Ticket type
Some time ago, there was a new kind of scam. The lawbreakers forged the "illegal parking notice" of the traffic control department, on which there was a two-dimensional code, allowing the car owners to "pay a fine" after scanning, so as to cheat money. Police said that the payment of traffic fines should be checked again and again. If you are not sure whether it is true or not, you should pay at self-service terminals and other legitimate network platforms.
