"Quishing" (QR + Phishing) is rising in India. Scammers paste their own QR codes over legitimate ones at shops, parking meters, or send them via WhatsApp.
🚫 The Threat: A QR code is just a link in disguise. It can take you to a fake payment
page, download malware, or subscribe you to premium services.
Common QR Traps
1. The "Free Gift" QR: You receive a pamphlet saying "Scan to claim your free smart watch".
2. The Fake Parking Meter: Scammers sticker their own payment QR over the official parking sign.
3. The WhatsApp Lottery: "Scan this QR to verify your bank account for the prize money."
Why Standard Scanners Fail
Most camera apps just show you the link. They don't tell you if it's safe.
