Am I forgetting any?
I skimmed through user responses and didn't find yet another popular scam that is becoming popular these days. There was a story recently. A Singaporean woman, eager to get a free cup of tea, paid $20,000 for it. QR code scams are on the rise. The scammers posted a QR code promising, after scanning the code and filling out a questionnaire, a free cup of tea with milk. After the woman did everything that was suggested by filling out the questionnaire, she downloaded a third-party application, and the scammers got remote access to her smartphone. During the inactivity of the phone, when the hostess did not use it, the scammers took 20,000 dollars from the bank account.
She probably hated tea with milk after that.
Although this story is not related to Bitcoin, everyone should be careful when handling QR codes, as passing through them can lead to numerous phishing sites.

Finally, it is not the QR-code in question that is fraudulent, but the downloading of a fraudulent application, in the same way that a fraudulent link would be used. That said having $20,000 in his account, accessible on his phone is not very reasonable.
