Scan Suspicious QR Codes
Upload an image of a QR code and we decode the hidden link locally, then check it against our threat-intelligence database — so you can see where a code really leads before you scan it with your phone.

Why scan a QR code first?
QR-code scams ("quishing") are everywhere
Stickers over real codes
Fraudsters paste their own QR sticker over the genuine one on parking meters, EV chargers, and payment terminals — your money goes straight to them.
Fake delivery & toll notices
"Re-schedule your parcel" or "unpaid toll" texts and door cards carry a QR to a look-alike site that harvests your card and login.
Menus, posters & emails
A QR on a restaurant menu, event poster, or in an email can quietly redirect to a credential-stealing page that your phone opens with one tap.
Frequently asked questions
What is a QR code scam (quishing)?
Quishing is phishing that uses a QR code instead of a clickable link. Because a phone hides the real web address behind the code, scammers use QR codes on stickers, letters, emails, and posters to send you to fake login or payment pages.
How do I check if a QR code is safe?
Take a photo or screenshot of the QR code and upload it here. ScamLens decodes the hidden link on our servers — never opening it on your phone — and checks the destination against 30+ threat-intelligence sources before you decide whether to trust it.
I already scanned a suspicious QR code — what should I do?
Do not enter any passwords or card details on the page it opened. If you already did, change that password immediately and contact your bank if you shared payment information. Then report the QR here so we can warn others.
Does a "clean" result mean the QR is 100% safe?
No. A clean result means the decoded link did not match any known scam signal, but new scam sites appear constantly. Always read the full link, be cautious of QR codes from unexpected sources, and never log in or pay right after scanning a code.
