https://webvetted.com/storage/image_scan/MOklUE1hJtR6NWvUZOzYfD1GeFVr5MaJHonmM73W.jpgWhy we think so?
This image appears clean of scam or offensive content, and there are no bad links, personal data, or suspicious keywords detected. Most of the visible text is natural and unmanipulated. The image's originality is questionable: a reverse search shows that a very similar (if not identical) image has already been used elsewhere online, often related to QR code scanning apps, but not as part of a known scam or fraudulent campaign. There's only a 5% likelihood the image was AI-generated. If this is a QR code, it does not contain any link or destination that could be unsafe. 🟢
