Be careful guys.

Scams like this are always easier in countries that do not teach or respect individual privacy.

There's a scam everyone should be careful of.  QR codes are a quick and easy way to get information on just about anything.  Restaurants put codes in menus, manufacturers and retailers  put them on their products to get specs and warranty info, promotional posters use them to drive interested customers to their websites, .... they are literally everywhere.

Scammers have placed stickers with QR codes on brochures, posters and signs to either hide the real QR code or add their own where none existed.  Unsuspecting users follow the codes to those same UR:s we are warned never to click in SPAM emails.  The sites are usually phishing webpages looking for any personal info they can collect on you and possibly convince you of a situation that separates you from your money.
