The digital age has offered a lot of conveniences, especially when it comes to online payments. More and more users now use payment apps and online banking to shop, pay bills, and transfer money. However, this has also resulted in an increase in cyber fraud. Here are a few practices to follow so that you don't fall prey to any cyber scams.
Avoid scanning QR codes, Why? – QR codes are now used across retail stores for payment – just scanning the QR code lets you directly transfer money from your account to the merchant. However, a scammer can also use QR codes to have money transferred from your account to theirs from any payment app such as Paytm, Gray, PhonePe etc.
