Basically you have to trust your gut feeling, says Meints savings yarn. “For example, do they ask for your personal information? Never scan. Do they ask for a payment? Check if it goes through your own reliable bank app. They cannot influence them.”
Links and covered QR codes
According to the police, a handy tip is also to enter links at the top of the QR codes at Checkjelinkje.nl. “Enter it there and then you get the answer to see if it is reliable.”
Do you make a payment via a QR code? “Always check who you are transferring it.” And you also have to pay attention in parking garages. “Always check at QR codes if a sticker is not stuck with a rogue code.”
Declaration
If you are scammed, it is always good to approach the bank when entering payment details and have it blocked. If you have entered personal data, please contact the Fraudhelpdesk. And always report it.
