QR codes has been giving people the very convenience people had been looking for, Imaging making transactions just by scanning a code. But this QR codes are also prone to counterfeiting and manipulations especially if handed to the wrong hands. So for people to avoid being victimized by QR code scams, make sure to only use QRs that are from a trusted source and are not from anywhere around the internet. No one is to be blame if you've got yourself into scams for you are the one who decides what will you let to happen.
