QR Code Scams: Check Before You Scan

Understand why QR codes can hide destinations and how to reduce the risk of opening a malicious website.

What to know

A QR code is a convenient way to encode a destination, but the visual code itself does not tell you whether the destination is trustworthy.

Practical steps

Use Hifazat QR & Barcode Scanner to inspect the embedded destination before opening it. If the destination is unfamiliar or requests credentials or payment, verify it independently.

Safety reminder: Never share passwords, OTPs or payment credentials with an unexpected person. Verify important requests through a trusted, independent channel.
