We’re now all quite alert on the potential of being scammed online – but a new, although old fashioned, scam is underway and users of Postfinance bank accounts are being warned.
The scam comes in the post.
Letters are being sent to Postfinance customers. Police say they’re printed on high quality paper with the correct logos.
But they have a QR code and tell the customer, with some urgency, to scan the code to secure their online account.
The code leads to a fake website which then collects the customer’s confidential information.
Postfinance and the police say they’re shocked at the new method. It clearly could be so lucrative the scammers actually pay for the postage.
Anyone who’s already followed the fake link should contact the police. If you receive the letter you should tell the bank and not use the QR code.
