QR Code Scams Are on the Rise

QR codes are everywhere: menus, posters, deliveries… But scammers are taking advantage of that.

Fake QR codes can lead you to phishing sites, download malware, or trick you into entering login details on fake pages that look real.

How to stay safe:

  • Don’t scan codes from unknown sources.
  • Check the URL before clicking any link.
  • Use a security app that can scan QR links safely.
  • Avoid scanning stickers placed over original QR codes.

Quick scans can lead to big risks. Think before you scan.
