Report Abuse

If a QR code or link created with StyleQRCode leads to phishing, malware, a scam, impersonation or illegal content, please tell us. We review every report and disable dynamic codes and Smart Links that break our Terms of Service.

How to report

Email support@styleqrcode.com with the subject “Abuse report” and include:

1. The short link shown when you scanned the code — it looks like https://styleqrcode.com/r/abc1234. Our QR code scanner can read it from a photo or screenshot.
2. Where you found the code — a poster, a parking meter, an email, a website.
3. What happened — the page it opened, what it asked for, and a screenshot if you have one.

Do not enter passwords, card details or personal information on a page you think is fraudulent.

What we can and cannot act on

• Dynamic codes and Smart Links (links on our short domain) pass through our servers. We can block their destination and disable them, usually as soon as a report is confirmed.
• Static codes contain their content directly and never touch our servers once created, so we cannot disable them. Report the destination website to its host and to Google Safe Browsing.

Prevention

Destinations of dynamic codes and Smart Links are checked against Google Safe Browsing when they are created and updated, and links already known to be harmful are refused.

If you are at risk

If you entered a password, change it immediately and enable two-factor authentication. If you entered card or bank details, contact your bank. For crimes, contact your local police or consumer-protection agency.
