Score Breakdown
Was this assessment accurate?
qr-codes.io is confirmed malicious
Multiple threat-intelligence feeds agree this domain is dangerous. Treat any data you entered as compromised.
- If you already paid or transferred — call your bank nowMoney moves faster than reports. Call the number printed on the back of your card — not a number from this site or any website — and report it to the police or your country's fraud line at the same time. Recovery rules differ by country, so do not assume a deadline has passed: ask your bank what applies to you and keep every receipt, screenshot and transaction ID. If you sent cryptocurrency, see our victim help page instead.
- Close the tab immediatelyContinued browsing increases the chance of drive-by downloads, exploit kits, or session hijacking.
- Run a full antivirus / malware scanIf the site loaded scripts, scan your device. Update your OS and browser to the latest version first.
- Change passwords for any account you enteredRotate the password and enable two-factor authentication on the real site. Watch for unauthorised charges over the next 30 days.
- Report the incidentReporting helps blocklists update faster and protects other potential victims.

High-Risk Signals
The risk signals are strong enough. Move on evidence preservation, reporting, and victim response now
This result is no longer just a normal verification case. Moving the chat, phone, payment, and official-reporting path in parallel is usually more important than waiting for more data.
Recommended First
Move into the victim action plan
If you already paid, logged in, or installed tools, use the action plan first to prioritize containment and evidence work.
Move into the website-reporting flow
Move the site, payment evidence, chat trail, and contact points into the formal reporting path.
Add the chat, DM, and payment-pressure trail
Keep the Telegram, WhatsApp, social DM, and payment-pressure trail in the same timeline.
Check the callback number and SMS
If the actor also used calls, SMS, or one-time codes, verify that phone path next.
The results are based on multiple third-party data sources and AI models. False positives or negatives may occur. This report should not be used as the sole basis for any decision. Please verify with additional sources.
If a loss already happened, move into the response flow now
Delay is the main risk with high-risk domains. Prioritize freezes, credential resets, reporting, and evidence preservation now.
If no loss happened yet, continue with the website-reporting and official-agency paths next.
