Photo (c) Koonsiri Boonnak EyeEm - Getty ImagesIn recent years, scammers have learned that QR codes can be an effective way to ensnare their victims. The codes are so common now that consumers rarely think twice about scanning one to retrieve a menu or make a payment.
Business cards can include a QR code that will direct a user to an online platform that's complete with videos and has more in-depth information about the services offered than what a standard business card can display.
As we’ve previously reported, scammers use QR codes to direct users to phishing websites, fraudulent payment portals, and downloads that infect devices with viruses or malware. According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), these scams are multiplying and taking on new forms.
Parking meter scam
One of the most creative – and dangerous – scam variations involves parking meters. Scammers have printed stickers with fake QR codes that they place on parking meters that tell motorists they can easily pay by scanning the QR code with their phones.
Unsuspecting motorists who scan the codes think they are paying for parking, but they are actually transferring money directly to the criminals. After paying for the spot through the QR code, some victims return to find that their vehicle has been towed or received a parking ticket for non-payment, multiplying the amount of money lost.
QR codes are also being used in imposter scams to make it easier for bad actors to collect money from victims. The scheme begins as a regular imposter scam; the victim is warned that their electricity is about to be cut off or that they are going to be arrested on some charge if they don’t make immediate payment.
Unfortunately, they are told that the regular payment portal is down, so the scammer asks for an email address to send a message with a QR code. The payment portal the victim is directed to often mimics the real portal down to the finest detail, providing a false sense of security that it is legitimate. Once the victim transfers the money, it can’t be traced or retrieved.
Used in romance scams
The BBB reports that QR codes are now a tool used in pulling off romance scams. After developing an online relationship with the victim, the scammer asks for financial help to deal with an emergency. It’s easiest, the scammer says, if the funds are delivered in the form of a cryptocurrency.
The victim follows a provided QR code and transfers the requested amount to the scammer’s digital wallet. Many victims lose thousands of dollars before they discover they are being scammed. For the scammer, the QR code just made the transaction smoother and more likely to succeed.
To avoid these scams, always confirm that a QR code is legitimate before scanning it. If a friend or co-worker sends you a message with a QR code, quickly communicate with them to confirm whether it’s from them and not someone who may have hacked their account.
On this episode, we discuss the 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid. Find out how the Sportage Hybrid compares to the gasoline Sportage we tested, and why hybrid versions of small SUVs often improve a model overall. We also answer a question about all-wheel drive and determine whether it can be considered a safety feature or convenience feature.

At the Federal Trade Commission, we’re proud of the work we’ve done with legal services organizations. I want to tell you about the latest way we’re working together to help protect your clients.
The Community Advocate Center, we hope, is a tool that will make it easier for you and your colleagues to help clients report fraud to the FTC.
If you become a Report Fraud Community Advocate, you’ll get a custom link that lets you submit reports to the FTC on behalf of your clients.

Second, it aggregates the reports into data that we can feed back to you about the reports your organization submitted. Which can be helpful for grant writing.
As you move through the reporting process, you’ll get some next steps tailored to your client’s experience, with a focus on getting their money back, whenever possible.
And, of course, by helping your clients report, you’re helping stop fraud in your community.

Transcript:
Hi, I’m Becca Kelly Slaughter, Acting Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency.
You’ve probably heard the great news that the American Rescue Plan is now law. That means lots of people will soon be getting desperately-needed economic impact payments—some folks call them stimulus payments—of up to fourteen hundred dollars.
Many of you have been here before, so you know these funds will come through direct deposit, check, or debit card.
But we here at the FTC would like to remind you that scammers follow the headlines, too. So here are a few sure ways to spot a scammer trying to take your money or personal information.
First, know that nobody in the government will ask you to pay anything up front to get your economic impact payment. There’s no way to get your payment faster, and there’s no form to fill out. That’s simply a scam.
Second, the government will not call, email, text, or message you on social media to ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.
Third, anyone who tells you to pay by money transfer, gift card, or cryptocurrency is a scammer. No matter WHY they say you need to pay.
If you spot these scams, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Every report helps us try to stop scammers.
And let me say a word to would-be scammers: the FTC will use all of its enforcement authority to come after bad actors who try to take advantage of people anxiously awaiting relief.
To learn more about avoiding pandemic-related scams, visit FTC.gov/coronavirus. And help us spread the word. Share these tips and this video through your network. Thanks for helping us protect people from scams.
