Bank card owners are warned about a new threat: rules aimed at protecting funds from fraudsters will come into force on December 20.
Financial expert Valery Popov warns about a new way to withdraw cash using a QR code. This method is convenient because it does not require a card, just a phone with a banking application. However, scammers actively use it for their own purposes, posing as bank employees and offering to cancel an operation on an allegedly illegal transaction.
Fraudsters offer to generate a code to cancel an operation in the application. If a person sends it, they will have access to their personal account and will be able to withdraw all funds from the account,” Popov explained.
The expert recommends cardholders not to share information about codes with third parties.
