How is QR Code Fraud ?

In such a situation, if ever you get a message or mail to scan the QR code in the name of receiving payment, then do not scan even by mistake. This may empty your account. The bank told that when you scan a QR code, you do not get the money, but the message comes that the money has been withdrawn from the bank account.
