00:00When they told you that the QR code was a cryptic thing, today we know everything.
00:04The pandemic left us the QR code as an inheritance.
00:08The QR code is born in a certain way to avoid contact,
00:11and it has grown, especially in the last 4 years, 4 or 5 years,
00:15it has grown a lot, the way that when you see a code of this,
00:18it no longer tells us what it is.
00:20You know that by scanning it with your cell phone,
00:22you are going to direct it to an application or a web or something like that.
00:25When we started this program, or on day 24,
00:27I told you that each scam, or possibility of scam,
00:30we were going to tell you to try to prevent you,
00:32no matter how much the scam comes from elsewhere.
00:35What you are seeing is from Spain.
00:36The Spanish National Police had to go out to communicate.
00:39Attentive, because in parking applications, which work in Argentina,
00:43in Argentina we have applications in several municipalities
00:45that serve for you to load money, precisely, to be able to park.
00:50Well, what you see here was appearing.
00:52What is it?
00:53It is a label of a QR code, different, stuck on the official QR code.
00:58Wow!
00:59Let's go to the basics.
01:00What is a QR code?
01:01A QR code is the way to redirect you to a place,
01:04to a page, to an application.
01:06The information that is here is a website, www.semmobile.com,
01:12which is where you download the parking application in Argentina,
01:15from some municipalities.
01:17What happens?
01:18When I paste a code, I can direct it wherever I want here.
01:21And in fact, what they were warning is that they redirected to pages that were,
01:25or a page that is the same as the parking page,
01:29but where you, when loading your data, loading your card
01:32and wanting to buy credit to be able to park,
01:35you are giving money to the criminals.
01:37What do you have to do?
01:38How do I do?
01:39Well, in the face of all QR code,
01:41whether you go to a place to scan a menu card,
01:45or to pay in a place too,
01:47or you do it also in a place where,
01:49not usually with a person, there is a sign.
01:51First, check that there is nothing pasted on top of the official sign.
01:55Because it is what usually happens, that it is not misaligned,
01:57because they usually paste a label on top of the official one.
02:01Then, check the site.
02:03If I scan and I go to a site with a address that is not the one that has the official name of the application,
02:09they are directing me to a place that is not.
02:12And third, when they are going to pay to any place,
02:15and they scan a QR code, because they are doing it a lot in the premises,
02:17as many premises have the display and the QR code is pasted in front,
02:22criminals have gone, pasted a sticker on top,
02:25and well, you realize.
02:26Check with the premises.
02:27I go, scan the QR code and say,
02:29yes, Luis Andres Evaristo Novarecio?
02:32Yes, perfect.
02:33Check.
02:34Do you have a second name, Luis?
02:35Esteban.
02:36Esteban.
02:37Luis Esteban Novarecio?
02:38Yes, perfect.
02:39From the bank or such?
02:40Yes, ready.
02:41I transfer to the person.
02:42Because they are also doing that.
02:43You tell me, but how long can that scam last?
02:45Until you realize.
02:46Many times you don't realize.
02:47It seems to me that this is central,
02:48to see that the sticker is not pasted on the other.
02:51That it is the official.
02:52There they imitate you to the site.
02:53You enter and it seems similar to you.
02:55Yes.
02:56There was the one with the fines.
02:57Also.
02:58Do you remember that the one with the fines was pasted on the windshield?
02:59Exactly.
03:00Also.
03:01And with that you scanned, thinking that you were paying the fine,
03:03and you were not paying it.
03:05Check that the site is, that above, in the address bar,
03:08say the official site.
03:09And if they are going to download an application,
03:11because many times it redirects you,
03:12that they are official stores.
03:14If they have Android, in the Google Play Store.
03:16If they have iPhone, in the App Store.
03:18Prevent.
03:19Try to prevent.
03:20Because as we always say,
03:21the criminal is 24 hours, 7 days a week,
03:24365 days a year.
03:26Alert to try to scam you.
03:27And one can not always be with the high guard.
03:29But from here we try to help you.
