I knew qr codes were very potentially dangerous! Nice to see someone finally admitting it. You can't tell just by looking at it what website it will send you to, unlike scam emails where you can actually read the link text. Also, who's to say scammers aren't printing up stickers with malicious qr codes and sticking them over legitimate qr codes on products? I will NEVER scan a qr code for as long as I live. There's too much potential for malicious use.
