BEWARE OF UPI QR CODE SCAM From OLX

So a friend of mine, last evening, got scammed by a upi QR code scan scam. She and her sister were selling a mattress on olx and the potential "buyer" told them he was interested and was willing to pay now and come and recieve it tomorrow. then he sent a qr code and said they'll receive the money once they scan it and even though she was hesitant, the scammer was so adamant on it that they did it and poof, the money was gone and then she fell silent after they said money got debited from their account. My friend did complain to cyber cell and all the relevant authorities but it's a reminder that even tho you might think you're aware enough, not all of your relatives might be. and just to save any potential victims to this particular scammer, I'll post the phone number too (but there's a chance he has already abandoned the number).
