Check suspicious QR codes, quishing links, and fake payment scans
About This Scanner
QR code scams, also called quishing, push people into fake payment pages, login flows, parking portals, restaurant menus, and app downloads. Because the destination is hidden until you scan, QR fraud works especially well in public places and urgent payment situations.

Top Red Flags
The QR code is placed on a sticker, flyer, poster, meter, or email that creates urgency or secrecy.
You cannot see the destination clearly before scanning, or it redirects to a login or payment page.
The QR code is being used instead of a normal trusted website or app flow you would expect.
How to Check This Scam
1
Upload a screenshot of the QR notice, poster, or payment message into AskdwinAI first.
2
If you can preview the destination URL without opening it, inspect that link separately before continuing.
3
Avoid scanning random QR codes for payments, parking, account verification, or login unless you verify the operator independently.
How to Report This Scam
Photograph the QR code, surrounding sign, and location where it appeared.
Report the fake code to the business, venue, city, or operator being impersonated.
If you scanned and paid, contact your bank or card provider immediately and document the destination page.
