Amazon QR code scams

Scammers are sending cards through the post which claim to be from Amazon and include dodgy QR codes. When scanned with your phone or tablet, these QR codes (the 2D barcode images made up of black and white squares) lead to dodgy websites that aim to steal your personal information.

The fake postcards claim to offer freebies through Amazon's 'Early Reviewer Program', which actually ended in 2021. Find out what they look like so you can spot one if it's posted through your door.
