Tips for Avoiding QR Code Scams:

👀

Hover or Long-Press for Link Preview

On many smartphones, you can hover or long-press the QR code link preview to see the actual URL. Always check it leads to an official and secure website.

🔒

Check for HTTPS

Ensure the URL begins with "https://" which indicates a secure connection. This is a primary, though not foolproof, indicator of a trustworthy website.

✅

Verify Legitimacy

If the poster or advertisement includes an address or the name of a place, verify its legitimacy by checking maps, official websites, or user reviews.

Stay vigilant and informed. Only together, we can create a more secure workplace!
