The advice not to scan QR codes found online is wise. I myself am also very careful in this regard because threats can come at any time from unknown QR codes. The best solution is that I only pay cash although other options are also available using the QR code payment menu.

You are on a forum about Bitcoin and you advise to pay only in cash, but what about Bitcoin?

In fact, there are a lot of tricks of scammers, that user falls for every day, so caution will definitely not be superfluous. If we decide to invest in Bitcoin, we must understand that the responsibility for its safety lies only with us, we are our own bank and if something happens to our coins, we cannot change anything, everything depends only on our knowledge and decisions.

Well, we can't blame people for having trust issues, especially in these kinds of stuff since you can even make your own QR code online, and then paste it as payment to scam people. Any kind of transactions that can be done online are most likely prone to scams and hacks as people are knowledgeable enough to code something that can access your private data as well as your funds. Sometimes your knowledge of this kind of thing is already behind to new kinds of techniques for scamming, just imagine the first person who got scammed with the use of a QR code, for sure they are not aware of that kind of modus, so from that experience he would prefer to use cash, if you let know people this story they would prefer to use cash. We would never know if one day someone could access your wallets and Bitcoin to whatever thing you have clicked online, so every action would literally need caution.
