EnergyVision, a well-known energy company that specializes in solar panels and charging stations, has temporarily suspended ad hoc payments via QR codes at public charging points due to fraudulent activity involving QR stickers. The company’s CEO, Maarten Michielssens, stated that only a small percentage of customers use QR codes for payments, with the majority opting for charging cards.
Reports indicate that approximately one hundred individuals fell victim to the fraud, each losing 300 euros. EnergyVision has filed a complaint regarding the incident, which involved fraudulent QR codes pasted on charging stations at around twenty locations. When scanned, the codes directed users to a payment page where 300 euros were deducted from their account before displaying an error message. Users were then redirected to the correct payment page, allowing them to successfully pay again without realizing they had been deceived.
