Cybercriminals are getting smarter — and they’re now using fake websites and QR codes to trick you into giving away your personal info or money.
How to Spot a FAKE Website:
Check the URL — official UP Manila sites use .upm.edu.ph
Avoid clicking links from unknown emails or messages
Look out for typos, missing logos, or “too good to be true” offers
How to Avoid QR Code Scams:
Don’t scan codes from random posters or messages
Check for signs of tampering — like stickers over original codes
After scanning, double-check the URL before entering info
Use trusted apps or type the web address manually
Stay alert. Think before you click or scan.
Your cyber safety is in your hands!
