Report a code that looks like a scam

This article is for people who scanned a code someone else made. Codes made with Dynamic QR Code Generator open links on qrdot.org, for example qrdot.org/aB3x9K. If one of them led you somewhere that looks wrong, please tell us.

Signs a code may be harmful

• It asks for a bank, email or social media password.
• It asks you to pay to unlock a parking meter, a delivery or a prize you did not expect.
• It pretends to be your bank, a government office or a delivery company.
• A sticker has been placed over the original code on a sign or a meter.

How to report it

1. 1Scan the code again, or open the qrdot.org link in your browser.
2. 2Scroll to the bottom of the page and press "Report this page". It is on every page we host, including the inactive page.
3. 3Say what is wrong in a sentence or two. This part is optional.
4. 4Send the report.

If the code sent you straight to another website, the report link is not on that site. Email [email protected] with the qrdot.org link instead. A photo of where you found the code helps too.

What happens next

We review every report. Codes used for scams, phishing or other harm are blocked, and anyone who scans them sees an inactive page instead. We do not tell the owner who reported it.

Your own code was blocked?

If you think we blocked one of your codes by mistake, email [email protected] from the address on your account and tell us which code it is.
