The suspect is holding a mobile phone or other code scanning equipment, looking for opportunities to scan other people's payment codes offline. Other suspects will trick users into taking screenshots or taking photos and send them to them remotely to steal money.

The modus operandi of scanning QR code to steal money is very simple, and most of them are used by suspects because of the negligence of the victims. Most of the suspects' targets are supermarkets and restaurants. Being located in the business circle and the surrounding environment is noisy, which just gives the suspect a good cover.

Therefore, when using QR code to pay, citizens should raise their awareness of prevention, ensure the safety of the surrounding environment, and leave no opportunity for criminals.

Both Alipay and WeChat have taken measures to extend information. Alipay payment code page Android phone can't be crawled, and Apple phone will automatically become invalid after the screenshot. Wechat will automatically pop up a precautionary reminder after the screenshot. But even so, the scammer still thought of the "corresponding strategy" and photographed the payment code with other mobile phones.

Alipay announced in the official Weibo that from February 20, 20 17, Alipay's payment code function is only used for offline payment, and it no longer has online transfer payment function, and all collection functions are unified into the "I want to collect" page.

Alipay said that the move is because the payment code on Alipay's homepage can not only pay merchants, but also collect other people's money, which will be used by criminals.
