Warning: New QR Code Traffic Fine Scam Targets Drivers Across Spain
Malaga, Spain – Authorities are warning citizens about a new scam circulating across Spanish cities, dubbed 'QRishing,' which involves fraudulent traffic fines left on vehicle windshields. These deceptive notices, designed to mimic official DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) or Ministry of Interior documents, feature a QR code that, when scanned, leads to the theft of personal and banking information or the installation of malicious software. Legal expert Xavi Abat, a lawyer active on social media, highlighted the scam, emphasizing that the DGT never issues fines via QR codes. "If you find a fine with a QR code on your car, do not scan it. This is a scam," Abat stated in a recent public warning. He further explained that these fake fines are legally invalid as they bypass the standard legal process, which includes the right to appeal. Victims are urged to photograph any suspicious fines and verify them through official government channels rather than scanning the provided QR code. The scam, initially reported in Malaga, is reportedly spreading to other urban areas. Citizens are advised to remain vigilant and share this information to prevent others from falling victim to this sophisticated data theft scheme.
