Greek Life Dues QR Code Scam
Fraternity and sorority dues QR codes can be legitimate, but chapter payments need a careful recipient check. Before paying, make sure the destination matches the chapter, billing period, officer, amount, payment note, receipt, and official portal.
What to check before paying
- The chapter name, officer, treasurer, adviser, or member portal matches the QR destination.
- The billing period, amount, due date, payment note, and receipt path are clear.
- The recipient matches a known chapter or approved payment path.
- The QR code came from an official message, staffed table, or verified member portal.
- The page does not ask for passwords, one-time codes, bank logins, or unrelated identity details.

- No chapter officer can confirm the amount, recipient, or billing period.
- The QR code opens a surprise login, refund page, or unrelated donation form.
- The page asks for a one-time code, bank login, recovery phrase, or broad account access.

If you already paid
Save the QR code, URL, receipt, recipient name, payment note, message, statement, and screenshots. Contact the real chapter, adviser, treasurer, or member portal through a known path. If the recipient is wrong, contact your bank, card issuer, or payment app quickly.
