Police Warn Public of Fake QR Code Payment Scam

Imagine QR codes are like secret doorways for money transfers.

Now, some bad guys are sticking fake doorways over the real ones in shops.

When you scan the fake code to pay, your money goes straight to the bad guys instead of the shop owner.

The police are warning everyone to be careful and look closely at the QR codes before paying.

Shopkeepers should put their codes in safe places and check them often for any changes.

If you don't get a payment confirmation, something might be wrong.

It's important to be aware of these fake codes to keep your money safe.
