Scammers Steal Phones via QR Codes | Leeds News

Scammers are hitting mobile users with fake phone offers—sending unrequested high-end devices and tricking victims into mailing them back via QR codes, while real carriers unknowingly add charges to bills. Major UK providers including Sky, EE, and Vodafone are involved; nearly 30,000 phones were stolen last year. Some fraudsters even show up at doors posing as couriers. If you get an unsolicited device or QR code, don’t engage—call your provider directly. Stay alert. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
