A package shows up at your door that you never ordered. Seems harmless, right? Not anymore. Scammers are mailing random, low-value items with one goal:
???? Get you to scan the QR code inside.
Once scanned, that code can:
???? Steal personal information
???? Send you to fake websites
???? Install malware on your phone
Curiosity could cost you a lot more than the package is worth. #ScamAlert #CyberSecurity #ClarkHoward #QRCodeScam #ConsumerAlert
