Watch Out For This Scam Targeting Amazon Customers (So, Basically, Everybody!)

So here’s the deal: You get a package in the mail, and you’re thinking, “Wait, I didn’t order anything. Maybe someone sent me a surprise!”

You tear it open, and inside, there’s a QR code with the package. It’s tempting – it looks like the code may unlock a free gift or a warranty. But here’s the kicker: the moment you scan that QR code, you’re in trouble.

It hijacks your phone and grabs everything—bank details, passwords, photos, you name it.

This isn’t Amazon’s fault… they’re not involved. Whoever sent the package is behind it.

So, if you get a package you didn’t order, don’t scan anything! Just toss that QR code in the trash.

Stay sharp, and don’t let these sneaky scammers ruin your day!
