Though police are telling citizens to opt for cash on delivery,it appears that some people, especially young people are extremely addicted to making payment using qr codes. The Times of india carried the news that a woman from Powai was cheated of Rs 4.8 lakh when she tried to purchase wine costing Rs 620 .The seller told her that she had paid some additional money, and would refund it if she scanned a QR code.
So the woman scanned the QR code repeatedly, and found that her bank account was debited by Rs 4.8 lakh.While young students who do not have much money in their bank account can use QR codes for making payment, those who have some money in their bank account should avoid direct bank payments to the extent possible/.
