I’m glad you found us; but don’t trust every QR code you meet on the street.
Quishing (I did NOT name this) is a growing scam that hides malicious links behind fake QR codes.
This one’s safe - promise.
But since you’re already here, below are some tips on how to spot the risky ones before they spot you.
Scammers love curiosity - it’s one of the things humans do way better than bots.
But with a few quick checks, you can stay one step ahead.
Some scammers print fake QR stickers and slap them over real ones - on posters, signs, menus, or even parking meters.
If the code looks freshly stuck on, crooked, bubbled, or doesn’t match the background design, it’s probably a trap.
Glance for tampering or mismatched materials. If the code looks out of place or suspiciously new, skip it.
When you scan, your phone shows the link before opening it.
If the domain looks weird, misspelled, or shortened (like bit.ly or tinyurl), back out.
Legit businesses and agencies pair QR codes with matching branding or URLs.
Lone, unbranded codes? Big red flag.
A genuine QR won’t ask for your login, password, or banking details.
If it does, that’s not curiosity - it’s a con.
Finally, for trusted sites (like Kumiho ^_^), save the link once and visit directly later - not through random QR codes.
Quishing works because it plays on trust.
Stay curious, not careless.
Remember: even a fox checks before pouncing.
