Avoiding QR Code Scams
Know what to look out for in this industry.
QR codes are fast, but they can hide malicious links. Cyber-thieves are plastering suspicious QR code stickers everywhere from parking meters to menu boards at eateries. Our tool enables you to see where a code takes you without having to scan it through your phone.
How It Works
- Upload an image of the QR code.
- We automatically decipher it and reveal to you the entire actual URL it points to.
- We check that URL against known phishing and malware sites in databases.
Common QR Code Scams
- Phishing: It will trick you into going to a fake banking/payments page that looks real but is actually designed to snatch your login/credit card information.
- Malware: The code tricks you into downloading a malicious app that can infect your phone.
- Payment Diversion: A scam sticker on a parking meter or vending machine sends your payment to a thief instead of the city or company.
Why Check First?
Our program reveals to you the actual destination site, so it's easy to recognize a fake. For instance, a code for use at a city parking lot should be sent to MyCity-Parking.gov and not to Quick-Pay-Free.xyz. Let us protect you by revealing to you the reality before the click
