In line with the Philippine National Police's commitment to promoting a safer digital environment, the Dasol Municipal Police Station, under the leadership of PCPT JAYSON T ORILLA, Officer-in-Charge, reminds the public to stay vigilant against quishing scams and other QR code-based fraud.
Quishing, or QR code phishing, is a type of scam where fraudsters use malicious or fake QR codes to redirect individuals to fraudulent websites, fake payment pages, or other deceptive platforms designed to steal personal information, account credentials, or money.
The public is encouraged to practice the following safety measures:
โ๏ธ Think before you scan. Do not scan QR codes from unknown or suspicious sources;
โ๏ธ Check the destination before proceeding. Carefully review the website address after scanning;
โ๏ธ Be cautious of QR codes posted in public places that appear altered, covered, or suspicious;
โ๏ธ Never enter passwords, OTPs, banking information, or other sensitive data on unfamiliar websites;
โ๏ธ Verify payment details before sending money, especially when using QR-based transactions; and
โ๏ธ Report suspicious QR codes, fraudulent websites, or attempted scams to the proper authorities.
Dasol Municipal Police Station urges everyone to remain cautious when using QR codes. A simple scan can lead to serious consequences when the source is not verified.
"Scan with Care. Verify Before You Share. Think Before You Click."
