Do you 'do' QR codes?

[Jace]

I have tried...but
doesn't seem 'to work'

Don't know what I'm doing???( Of course) wrong

Help!!

What do you want to know ?.. you just point your phone camera at the QR code it will line up in the box and snap it will take the picture...or you can download a QR app....

I use them mostly to return items at Amazon. Our return center just scans the code and you’re done. They are very handy to have.

Sometimes you have to make sure the phone is straight up and you may have to move closer to the code or farther away. Sometimes they're picky. A little thing will pop up with a little message so you know it's there and then just click the photo button.

 

[Fritz]

I rarely ever have the need to use them. I don't like to.

Yes - I use them when available.

Be careful though. If your code is on a physical object like a sign or leaflet then check tht it isn't a sticker covering up a QR Code. It's very easy to do and could take you to a scam site.

 

[horseless carriage]

Had to look up QR codes. Once upon a time zebras were ponies with bar codes.

Not anymore!

NO..... One of the greatest SCAM opportunities of our time.

 

[Lewkat]

No, I do not upon my son's advice.

Well for example the last one I was using was on my Xbox and part of the process for signing up and getting certain apps linked to the acct so I could use them. Only other time I used them was for something in a game. Otherwise I don't normally mess with them because it can be dangerous. In certain circumstances they are safe and may be necessary.

Mostly I use them for returning goods to Amazon .....

No Don...

@hollydolly. A local Realtor 'puts out' a magazine that.has.one.
to find out.'what.your house.is worth"
Thought it would be interesting!

 

[Imogene]

No. Not that I don’t trust them.—— but I don’t.

 

[Marquest]

I tried, didn't work, no patience to try again.

No don't do that...that's the type of QR code you need to be very wary of.. you have no idea where your info is going with those..

You don't need to use one of those to find the value of your house....so don't be taken in by that

there's no reason for it not to work... if you're on android.. watch this...

Same here. Twice I've used those strange squigglly's to return Amazon stuff.

sometimes u don't have a choice if u want to register for something. if i want to take a class at the library, in order to sign up, i have to use the QR code.

 

[CaliS]

I use them carefully, when I have to - such as public parking.

I prefer menu's to QR codes and always ask for one.

I've read a lot about how scammers cover them up and steal your money - so I avoid them if possible.

@hollydolly T Y.so,so.miuch!
