In the Spotlight: Bubble tea shop scam, the modus operandi of QR code scammers

View descriptionShare
 

A recent scam saw a visitor visited a bubble tea shop and saw a sticker pasted on its glass door, encouraging customers to do an online survey to get a free cup of milk tea.

The victim scanned the QR code and downloaded a third-party app onto phone. Scammers later via the app, took over her device and moved $20,000 from her bank account.

Hwei Qiang Tan, Fraud Protection Solution Engineer, Group-IB helps us understand QR Code scams better using the bubble tea QR scam case as an example.
