QR code scams are on the rise (in the bus, train, station, restaurant, parking ticket machines...)

This warning (feature) will not prevent scams, but keep the awareness of such possible scams high.
Usually if there are additional stickers above the original ad/poster something is fishy.
Qr codes with Included URLs starting with http:// instead of https:// are also an indicator that something is wrong.

Anyone can use HTTPS for free. It hardly provides any anti-phishing.
