Banks warn of QR-code scam letters arriving by post
Original: Meine Hausbank warnt heute in der Banking-App vor betrügerischen Briefen mit QR-Code. # Betrug # Banking # Briefpost
A German bank has issued a warning to its customers through its banking app about fraudulent letters containing QR codes sent by post. The scam appears to be a form of quishing, where victims are prompted to scan a code that leads to phishing sites or payment requests. Users are being urged not to scan QR codes in unexpected letters and to verify any banking correspondence through official channels.
Why now: QR-code phishing scams by post are currently spreading, prompting banks to alert customers directly in their apps.
