I got this in my feedly news feed. While on my break/time out, I read emails
"Beware of new QR code scam involving unsolicited packages" found HERE
Scammers are sending packages with cheap things in side addressed to you, without a return address. Inside with the gift, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent it to you. DO NOT SCAN THE CODE..
Now – the FTC and the BBB warn that those unexpected packages could contain QR codes to steal your personal information. The QR codes usually come with instructions, urging you to scan the code to find out who sent the package. When you scan, the QR code leads you to a fraudulent website aiming to phish more information from you, like your bank details or social security number.
get a package with no address and you did not order anything?
Should you scan the barcode inside to find out who sent it?

Wow, I bet you have saved some of us from being scammed!! I had not heard about this. Thanks so much! Your images are so cute!
nothing is impossible this time, I wish we could find this evil a-hats I would do something I never did before...
Thank you and noted. We had it drummed into us at work to NEVER scan a QR code - ever. Apparently malicious folks can even stick nasties over the genuine QR thing in your fav restaurant menu.
