German bank warns customers about QR code letter scam
Original: Meine Hausbank warnt heute in der Banking-App vor betrügerischen Briefen mit QR-Code. # Betrug # Banking # Briefpost
A German bank is warning its customers through its banking app about fraudulent letters containing QR codes. The scam, known as quishing, tricks recipients into scanning a code in a letter that leads to fake websites designed to steal banking credentials. Commenters are sharing the warning to alert others that fraud is no longer limited to email and text messages, but now arrives by traditional post.
Why now: QR code phishing scams sent by physical mail are a growing fraud trend, and people are passing on the bank's warning to protect others.
