Uh yeah, we get so many emails, Facebook messages on social media and so on. I love reading all of your questions to me, especially when you send them by video. As I get to see you. Our loyal viewer, Trisha has *** question. Go for it. Trish. Can you or code be used to steal our information or finances? All right. Thanks for your question, Trisha. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. *** couple of years ago I worked with *** cybersecurity expert to show you how the scan swap out real QR codes for fraudulent ones at restaurants and parking meters, feeding the criminal all of your personal information. Let's show you *** piece of this. Look how easy it is. Watch what Jim does here putting his QR code on the sign over the real one, the credit card number.

What's the, what's the security code? Yeah, and these scammers are still up to their old tricks. The better business bureau just putting out *** new warning about QR code. Scams this summer. Aside from putting fake ones over real ones, here are some other ways scammers are using QR codes to try and get your information. They can impersonate utility companies mailing you, you know *** fake utility bill saying they're about to shut off your services. There's *** QR code right there on the bill and they say, hey, scan it to pay. This is why you need to always verify any surprise letters you get in the mail, reach out to your utility company directly to confirm whether the bill is legit or log into your utility account to double check yourself. Another trick is your classic phishing scam, right? You get *** text or an email, maybe it's about *** package delivery. We've shown you they do that or an account you need to log into immediately instead of *** link. The message has *** QR code on it that you're supposed to scan. Don't do that. Just like you wouldn't click *** link in *** text or an email you get. Don't scan *** QR code from an unsolicited message either at Tria. We hope that helps if you have any questions for me.
