QR Menu Scam Alert: Fake Codes Empty Bank Accounts!

• Scammers are replacing legitimate restaurant QR menus with fake codes to defraud users.
• Scanning these fake QR codes redirects victims to malicious websites that steal personal and banking information or install malware.
• These rapidly increasing incidents are termed "quishing attacks," a new name for an old scam method.
• Always check QR code stickers for signs of tampering (re-pasted, torn) before scanning them.
• Never scan QR codes from unknown sources, in public spaces, or provide sensitive banking details after scanning.

Why It Matters: Be vigilant with QR codes; fake menus can lead to data theft and empty bank accounts.
