These days, Quishing scam is happening with many people in the market in which fraudsters are targeting people through fake QR.
Scammers can place these QR codes anywhere. Like if you click on any website, ads etc. then it will directly redirect you to another website.
There you will be asked for your details so that you can proceed further in the website.
After entering personal details, scammers then target people through this. After this you will start receiving many things like fraud calls, scam related messages etc.
Therefore, always while using social media, if you see any QR code, do not scan, share etc. without checking it.
