Avoiding QR Code Scams

Know what to look out for in this industry.

Scammers typically send fake texts that originate from your bank, shipping company, even your own relatives. It's "smishing" and all it's meant to do is to trick you into going to the wrong link or to leak out personal details.

How to Identify a Smishing Messages

  • It Creates Sense of Urgency: It contains words such as "Your account is frozen", "act now", or "final notice".
  • ** Sender Appears Abnormal**: Rather than a known name, it could be from an unfamiliar email address or an arbitrary 10-digit number.
  • Suspicious Link: It could be making use of a link shortener (i.e., bit.ly) or it could be making use of almost correct URL (e.g., fedex-tracking-real.com rather than `.
  • It Asks for Info: Reputable businesses will under no circumstances send texts to ask for your password, social security, or full credit card number.

Examples of Fake Texts

  • "-FedEx: Your shipment is running into trouble. Choose your delivery preference here: http://fedex.track-order.us/abc" → That is phishing link.
  • "Bank of America Alert: Suspicious activity has frozen your account. Sign in to prove your identity at http://bofa.secure-login.com" → This is not a valid domain. See more examples on r/Scams and guidance from Norton.

If in doubt, don't click. Upload a screenshot and we'll scan it for you.
