I said fine, you can pay me via Paytm or Google pay then he called me in the evening n told me that mam here in indian army camp we can’t pay directly so I am sending you the QR code you have to scan that code & pay me just 5 Rs to me it will be return to you immediately. At that moment my friend listen who just back from the office before few minutes, he directly told me it’s fraud. Don’t do anything & I cut the phone.

    A friendly reminder to all: 😊
    Never post your QR code on any social media sites like FB, IG, Twitter, etc., as this contains your personal data. Don’t allow yourselves to be a victim of phishing scams or identity theft.
    Stay safe! 😘😷

    Be careful! The fraudster will reach out to you or engage you in a conversation as a buyer and will share a QR code to pay advance/token amount.
