Quishing Fraud : A message from Thames Valley Police
Thames Valley Police are urging the public to remain vigilant to fraudulent QR codes which can easily turn from convenience to con.
‘Quishing’ or ‘QR Code Phishing’, involves tricking someone into scanning a QR code which once scanned, will take you to a bogus website where you innocently input your details thinking you are paying for a service or visiting the genuine site, when in fact, you are unknowingly sharing all your personal details with criminals, which could lead to Identity fraud.
How to spot a fake QR code
QR codes are often found on things like parking machines, charging points, emails, even restaurant menus.
If the QR code is on a poster in a public area, always check whether it appears to have been stuck over the original. If the sign or notice is laminated and the QR code is under the lamination or part of the original print, chances are it is more likely to be genuine.
If in doubt, download the app from the official Google or Apple store or search the website on your phone’s internet browser, rather than scanning a QR code to take you there. It may take longer, but it is more secure.
Check the preview of the QR code's URL to see if it appears legitimate. Make sure the website uses HTTPS rather than HTTP, does not have obvious misspellings and has a trusted domain.
Use your phone’s built-in QR scanner (available in most Camera apps) rather than downloading third-party QR scanning apps, which can sometimes be risky.
Trust your instincts!
Trust your instincts. If something does not seem right, do not scan, alert the owner of the QR code and police by calling 101 to report.
Quishing can also occur on online shopping platforms, where sellers received a QR code via email to either verify accounts or to receive payment for sold items.
Fraudsters may impersonate banks, or other UK government organisations such as HMRC. If you receive an email with a QR code in it, and you are asked to scan it, you should be cautious due to an increase in these types of 'quishing' attacks.
