SCAM ALERT: The QR Code Restaurant Menu Switch That Steals Payment Details
That QR code on your restaurant table isn't always what it seems. Scammers are placing fake QR code stickers over legitimate restaurant menu codes, directing you to convincing fake websites instead.
These sites not only look like the real restaurant's menu but also request payment information for "easy checkout" or app downloads for "loyalty programs." By the time you realize something's wrong, your payment details have already been captured.
This low-tech physical modification creates a surprisingly effective digital attack that's nearly impossible to detect without scanning the code with a QR reader that previews the destination first.
