Frequently asked questions

Can a QR code be a scam?

Yes - "quishing" hides a phishing link inside a QR code. Because you can't read it with your eyes, scammers put malicious codes on fake invoices, parking meters, and emails.

How do I check a QR code safely?

Preview the link before opening it, or decode it here first. Watch for look-alike domains, and never enter passwords or payment details from an unexpected code.
