A Calgary company is warning others after falling victim to a new, online scam using QR codes to defraud victims out of their money.

I don’t understand how the bank didn’t pay them back and return the frauds as insured.

Giving your password and account out shouldn’t be enough to authorize a wire transfer. That’s on the bank.

Getting shit done at banks is hard enough already. Don’t give them an excuse to make it even more of a pain in the ass.
