For those who don’t know, it’s where someone takes a QR code like on a poster for a concert and puts a sticker with a different QR code on top to a fake website that looks like the concert website (or a Rick Roll).

The obvious answer is to scratch off the QR code if you notice it’s a sticker, but It’s not always acceptable -or legal- to start damaging stuff to check if it’s real or not. Also what if it’s out of reach on a sign or something?

You can’t put a little text under saying what the website is as a sort of checksum because the vandal can just write their own website under their sticker.

    I think I’ve only ever seen 2 or 3 places in my life that didn’t have physical menus. I didn’t walk out of the ones that didn’t, but I haven’t been back to any of them.
